How is it sexually dimorphic?
Wingspan (cm)?
True or false: This bird has created hybrid species with the White-rumped Sandpiper

This is a Dunlin. Juvenile, I think. Females have longer bills than males. Wingspan is 17'' according to my guide, so that would be... 40 something cm? And true.

Yay! I had 32-38 cm, but close enough.

Name another species with a similar bright color, and explain how to tell them apart.

Scarlet Tanager
another species is the Vermilion Flycatcher, and the difference between the two is that the Vermilion Flycatcher has a black or dark streak across the eye area

Correct.

Common name and gender
What is the conservation status of these birds?
How were they once threaten?

Painted bunting, female. They are near threatened, and the population has been in a steady decline, I think because of trappers.

yup!

Is this a juvenile or an adult? How can you tell?
