Waxwing

Another adult bird.
The best id features that distinguish males from females are;
Males have bright 'L' shaped yellow and white markings on their primaries, in females these are much more subdued and also often incomplete.
Males have a solid black bib but the female's bib is faded at the bottom and is generally smaller. Males have a much broader yellow tail band and have in general more red waxy tips to their wings than females.
