Red and black... I assumed it was a red cardinal, but then I don't know a lot about birds
No. It's the wrong shape for a cardinal, the wrong shade of red and the beak is all wrong. That's a parrot.
We had a robin do that years ago. It bloodied the windows on the south side of the house for an entire summer. It migrated south that winter, and when it came back it went next door and terrorized the neighbors for a few weeks before realizing it was at the wrong house.
I came back over here just in time for a visit from my ornithophobic mother. She woke up at 5:00 AM to a deranged and bloody bird trying to beat it's way into her bedroom. Pretty damn funny, but I took pity on it (and Mom) and put it out of its misery.
Here's a better pic of it... what is it? I thought parrots looked different?

Male Summer Tanager attacking it's reflection
New pics - looks like a pissed off Northern Cardinal
That close-up makes all the difference in the world. [Coffee]
It's not a Summer Tanager, but it's definitely been scrapping- see the missing feathers? I think Davsel's right- it's attacking it's reflection. It does look like a young male cardinal.
Ding! Ding! Ding! And the winnah by a beak is.... DAVSEL! [rockon]
