A Red-winged Blackbird with odd colours is sitting on a branch: it has yellow throat highlights and a very contrasty chest

It’s got to be a red-wing, but I don’t remember seeing such intensely yellow highlights and sharp contrasts on these guys before. Almost like he’s half yellow-headed or something.
