I have what I presume is an im. male Rose-Breasted Grosbeak at my feeder this 
afternoon.  The head pattern is of a female/1st fall male, but the breast is 
definitely RED not the buff as shown for im. males in the new ABC field 
guide.  
The red also trails off from the tip of the inverted triangle in a distinct 
line well down the breast.  Can't find my new NG guide right now.  Any 
comments?
