This is an Indigo Bunting, small quick birds. They can be hard to spot, Only in bright light do they appear this color, in lesser light they are black.
WOW.... how you got a photo of this flighty bird is beyond me! I have seen one or two, but they are not there for long! The Painted Buntings are another beautiful quicksilver bird!
