Cyanocompsa parellina
The Blue Bunting (Cyanocompsa parellina) is essentially a resident of parts of Mexico and Northern Central America. The species occasionally strays north into south Texas, usually in the winter.
The Blue Bunting is in the genus Cyanocompsa, and most of our grosbeaks are in the genus Pheucticus. Will again suggest reading C. Thompson's account of Cardinals & Allies, in Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavior.
