Looks quite different from the male. I guess camouflage (and hers looks “military”) is helpful when laying eggs in other birds’ nests.
She looks a bit Gollum-esque and the head position is reminiscent of ancient Egyptian art. I think she might have seen you, there’s a vague human shape in the reflection in the eye.
The female’s colouring and patterns are similar to that of House Wrens, Pine Siskins, and a few others. She was paying attention to me, but not overly concerned.

More trying to convince you to let her out of the puppet. It’s cramped in there!

So different I was mistaking it for an unknown grosbeak of some kind when I was seeing them in my yard. In different light they look a much lighter gray.

She looks like she’s enjoying the shade.
