This American Redstart is an immature male, just starting to get some adult plumage. I recently learned it can take two years before the young males have all their adult black feathers.

Thanks for including both sides of the Redstart. I also appreciate the information about the time it takes for the adult feathers to come in.
Sweet looking little guy!
