I have looked thru all of my birding books, but I cannot determine what type of bird this is. He spent a week or so in my backyard in Pensacola, Florida.

Please help.

Sorry, I tried to access your picture thru the link that you posted and the site would not let me since I do not have an account. Why don't you post the picture here and we all will be able to see it.

This looks like a fairly common "pet bird" or "caged bird" in North America. I am not sure where you are. If this photo was taken in the wild in North America, it is most likely an escaped pet.
