Observation details
I saw this bird here for the first time on 13/01/2022. Shared my photos with the team at Ornitho.ch who agreed this is most likely a ferruginous x tufted hybrid. Photos taken on both 13/01 and 17/01. Other birders have also reported this bird on Ornitho.ch during the past few days. Note green sheen on the head, short rufous tuft and pale eye.
