Observation details
Male in with GWTE, when photographed initially thought it perhaps an aberrant GWTE plumage. Same size as GWTE but light colored cheeks, vertical barring on sides (although with a shadow of white shoulder patch), speculum looks relatively large (and green). Seems to match fairly closely other photos of this hybrid on eBird, although the head pattern a bit different and perhaps this is a backcross with GWTE.
