Hey, Steve, from the shape of that block of wood, I'm guessing that it is going to be painted in shades of red and grays. To me it looks like the beginning of a "Pyrrhuloxia, Cardinalis sinuatus".

I will look forward to this project, Steve. Now I am curious as to which picture it was. It has been a long while since I have seen a Pyrrhuloxia. Maybe 3 years or so, I'm guessing. I do know that the song of this bird is indistinguishable to that of the cardinal.
