Thanks for the help! Always appreciate the members of this forum for the most difficult ID questions.

Leaning toward cooper's based on the shape of the tail but don't see the lighter nape feathers in the photo with the head turned which makes me second guess. Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks! It was an amazingly cooperative subject!

Based on the spectacles I want to say Swainson's but for late November on the New Jersey coast it would be rare. Want to make sure I'm not confused before reporting. I did get a good look at the tail and there was no rusty hue to suggest Hermit. Thanks!

I want this to be a Lincoln's, but is it? Taken at Tuckerton/Great Bay WMA NJ early October
