Observation details
Dropped in briefly, perched on pine top trying to dry out. It then circled over the park a couple of times and flew off to the west. An immature bird, probably 2nd year, with mottled white wing linings and some white mottling under the tail and belly. The white triangle on the back was there but not prominent, same with the white on the median coverts. The head had a bit of white mottling, but not like the broad white eye bar of a third year bird. The upperside of the tail looked mostly dark when perched (see blurry photo). In flight, the secondaries were of uneven lengths, retaining some of the juvenile feathers.
