The black bill always gives the juveniles away.

In the summer, after breeding, the Northern Cardinals will molt and grow a complete set of new feathers. Some birds lose all the feathers from their head at the same time, remaining bald until the feathers grow back.

The Formative molt shows brownish-tinged flight feathers contrasting with newly molted uniformly red to reddish flight feathers of the male Northern Cardinal.
