Observation details
Male, found earlier in the day by Steve & Debbie Martin. Similar size to BWTE. Body cinnamon toned with golden-streaked bock and large, dark bill. I thought I had two birds, but could never see them at the same time. I saw both sides of the bird photographed and looked for signs of hybridization with species such as BWTE. Uniform body color lacking any sign of white hip patch, as well as uniform head color lacking pale crescent suggests this is a pure bird. Others who suggested hybridization did not note any suggestive marks in the field and relied on only poor photographs for evidence.
