I believe this is a 1st year immature male Summer Tanager. I have photographed a few Scarlet Tanagers near the same location where we spotted this one but this is a first for me.
The summer tanager range is just into this part of Ohio. I could be incorrect but I really believe that is what this is. It was a surprise find.
