I have a cardinal that visits my feeder regularly and I am not sure if it is male or female. It has white feathers on it’s back with a red-orange crown and a streak of the same on the edge of it-s wing. Most of the feathers are white to light buff. I think it is a female yet I have never seen anything like it.Has anyone else?
