Western Tanager or Scarlet Tanager? ID help? (1 Viewer)

Any ID help is much appreciated...
Looks like a Western Tanager
but would be well out of range here in New Jersey USA.
Is this a Scarlet Tanager in fluorescent orange and yellow? or some sort of hybrid maybe?
🤷‍♂️

Scarlet Tanager. Only the head is red in Western ; the latter has wing bars. Also, I guess Western is rare in New Jersey.

Agreed, a molting male Scarlet Tanager.

Have not ever seen a western one here, but this scarlet really looks different than others with the crazy orange coloring

Agreed, a molting male Scarlet Tanager.

Thanks, That makes the most sense...
