Default help identifying bird

i have recently had a very beautiful bird visiting our bird feeder here in
Austin. I would like to find an online source that would help me ID this
bird. anyone have any good links with pictures of birds in Central Texas?

the bird looks sort of like a Cardinal, except for the fact that it is more
orange than red, and a bit smaller. It has a black patch around it's beak,
and sort of a mohawk on it's head. anyone have an idea what it is?
