This hybrid is well-known locally. Its breast color matches Black-headed, but the pattern matches Rose-breasted Grosbeak. He was singing away. Better pictures exist, but I wanted to make sure this guy got recorded. This fellow sings from near the pump house on lower Gazos Creek

Not the best picture for details on the bird, but quite scenic in showing the bird in its habitat. They nest here.

I saw them when they first flew by, but there is enough here on the bill (no strong orange) and body shape (big belly) to eliminate either Pelagic or Double-crested, the other alternatives we have.
