Painted Redstart (Myioborus pictus), Jacob Lake, North Rim, Coconino County

This Painted Redstart was found and photographed by Jonathan DeBalko on 14 July 2008 at the Jacob's Lake Inn on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. 

Painted Redstart is casual in the Grand Canyon region and there is maybe only one prior record for the North Rim in 1974.  The most recent report from Grand Canyon region is one that Brian Gatlin saw at Indian Gardens in March 2005. They do make it as far north as Zion National Park, UT but only in small numbers.
