Observation details

Thanks to Keir Randall for finding the bird, and to Paul Sunby for refinding it. Great opportunity to look at the tails of many YBCU and this bird. And to note lack of rufous in the wings in BBCU vs YBCU. Red orbital ring not that obvious to me in the field, but black bill was.
