smittyone@cox.net Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 The bird was seen south of Council Bluffs, IA, in October last year. I doesn't look like the typical Eastern ssp that's prevalent in my area. It appears to "buffy". Definitely not a Harlan's. I'm torn between a Western or Northern ssp. I don't have any pics of the upper side of the bird's tail. I apologize if I've posted these pics for ID here before, but I searched for previous posts and didn't see them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Looks like standard Eastern light to me...But I could be wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
