Yes, that’s a yearling male, one hatched in 2020. They molt out of the
female-looking plumage in body feathers, but they keep their juvenal primaries,
which are more brown than black.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Rose breasted grosbeak-tan primaries
We had a male Rose breasted grosbeak with tan primaries at the feeder this
morning. Is this an immature? He appeared otherwise typical.
