Observation details
**rare; adult; photos; spotted by Jessie Barry and identified through scope by both JHB and MJI; lags medium pinkish with no yellowish cast, back close to Lesser Black-backed or slightly paler; head flat and fairly substantial, eye somewhat small, bill thick with strong gonys and bright yellow with large red gonydeal spot; faint streaking on head. Exact pattern of head streaking and faintly brighter yellow bill tip, along with general appearance, seem to indicate that this was the same individual seen in Ithaca last couple weeks.
