      No image.. sorry. I saw it twice in the Chisos Mountains in mid May in the trees and not very shy. Very much like a flycatcher but larger. Black crown, wings black or very dark with white wing patching, rufous or orange about the neck snd upper breast. Light color underneath. Definitely not a grosbeak of any kind although bird id apps keep referring me to the Black Headed Grossbeak. The orange/rufous color is rather subtle.
