Initially it was reported as a female, but the amount of blue on it for one thing, has caught the eye of several people. It is certainly not the typical adult female Mountain Bluebird. In fact, searching the internet I have not found a female that exactly matches the Shetland bird.
I have several books here, and my searches on the internet have not given me a solid conclusion. I just do not know enough about them. If it is a male, it would have to be an immature male.

If anyone has comments, please post here!
I will display Allen Woodliffe's photo here again, so I hope he does not mind!
