Observation details
With overlap on many features of bright fall Cassin's and dullish Blue-throated, this bird may be best left unidentified. Some photos show bright yellow flanks wile others appear greenish depending upon the light. Fairly good contrast between the greenish back and gray head. Added one new photo that may support white outer retrix. Darker lores than color of cap but cap does not seem to have a blue hue. Limited supraloral with high contrast and, unless I'm seeing things, there is a thin line of very dark feathers separating the cap from the supraloral.
