A 1st winter Blue Grosbeak? Sibleys calls them "rufous overall" but not really cardinal red as you describe. Here is an online image of one:

Sightings of Blue Grosbeaks are fairly regular every Spring I think.

He is sure it is a Grosbeak. He would be familiar with them. The bird is all red, like a Cardinal but it is not a Cardinal, for sure, he said. It is travelling with a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
