Liam, thanks for the ID and link. It looks like a female White-collared Seedeater, but the bill seems too big and light colored instead of black. And it looked a little larger than the other female seedeaters I was seeing there.

The Ani has a similar bill, but not the same bird. This is probably a female of some type of seedeater or grossbeak.

That billed it is so familiar. The bird I saw with a similar one it is totally different (maybe cousins?) but if it helps to ID it, here it is. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/15474347
