[Maine-birds] Re: Feathers question

Thanks to everyone for help guessing the ID of the feathers I found.   The guess I’m going with at the moment is female Cardinal.  The pinkish-red flight feathers with white rachis don’t fit anything else I can think of, although these feathers had white tips which I don’t normally associate with Cardinal.   The gray, buffy-yellow tipped downy breast(?) feathers don’t strike me as Cardinal-like either, though the solid gray ones, which were in the majority, do.     Thanks for the guesses, and if anyone has any others I’d like to hear them.
