She's a "she" (see the SL). ;-) And while the beak is open what's coming out ain't singing. Red winged blackbirds can mimic other birds but much of their vocalization consists of angry squawks.
She was letting me know she didn't want me there. Kept her distance but kept squawking while she flitted around me (but not too close), trying to get me to leave. I don't blame her. ;-) Thanks for the comment, Bruce. And thanks to everyone else who looked and commented.

Good profile, he's singing, excellent colour and detail. The blueness should be a simple WB tweak, but I like the pastel colour as-is, myself.
