Observation details

Found earlier in the morning by Bill Oyler. Continuing in field loosely associating with KILL flock. Large bird, probably clise to 1.5x the size of KILL, with very upright posture. White below, dark upperparts with beautiful glossy green sheen in good light. Some feathers on wing coverts seemed to have very narrow fringes of buff at tips. Rufous undertail coverts, black tail, broad white rump patch. Buffy face and nape of neck, with white on cheeks and throat. Dark forehead and crown, and thin, elongated plumes forming crest. Black patch at base of bill with a narrow black line extending under eye and auticular, giving face a patterened look. Dark iris and bill, pinkish legs. Small, glossy purple patch visible on wing coverts. Broad line of black at base of folded wings, and very broad single black breast band. Many photos.
