Piranga rubra
As this male Summer Tanager continues to molt, the yellow feathers will be replaced by red ones.
From the Cornell website-"The Summer Tanager is considered a bee and wasp specialist. It usually catches a bee in flight and then kills it by beating it against a branch. Before eating the bee, the tanager removes the stinger by rubbing it on a branch.
