We do not have cardinals here in Washington state so enjoy the chance to photograph them.

Beautiful photo with expanded wings... looks like a pyrrhuloxia to me, but I'm not very good when it comes to distinguishing subtle morphological differences.

Like I said, I'm not good at this type of ID, especially when I don't live and see these species. I think your bird has more color than a female cardinal. I photographed both cardinals and pyrrhuloxia in SE TX in March, 2022 and this just looks more like a male pyrrhuloxia to me.

Hopefully someone with regional knowledge will chime in. Regardless of the species, it is a beautiful image. The wings are glowing!

Ok I am sticking with my original ID of female cardinal here is a photo of a female cardinal and a pyrrhuloxia in the same frame.
The cardinal has a lighter yellowish white color as is in my posted image. Bruce

The elements of environment added nicely to this Cardinal image Bruce IMO. The color and BG is really beautiful, love the wood texture and the contrast of the greenery

Wow!!
I find it hard to make a female cardinal look good in a photograph.
You've shown me how to do it.
Very well done.
