Tony Leukering 2,285 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 That's an awfully small white patch on the head. Do you have more photos? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benjamin 764 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) I think Cassin's Kingbird might be a good option here. Either way, I'd report this right away, this is a rare bird! Edited October 15, 2020 by Benjamin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackburnian 1,183 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I like Western. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Melierax 1,033 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 This is a young bird by the looks of it. I agree with Western -- I would expect Cassin's to be much darker and have gray extending farther into the breast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
