On the south side of the Central Park Pool, Twitter's @Above96th and I found and photographed a Painted Bunting female-type this afternoon at the so-called Bathing Rock as it flew in to take a quick bath. It soon flew off and was not seen again.

The Bathing Rock is a bit west of the Pool's south-side center.
