Observation details
Fantastic find by Kris Moulton. Beautiful male in transition nearly or full breeding plumage. Very chunky, large body which was white below then a blotchy transition to chestnut at is midsection all the way through the head. Face was closer to cinnamon, behind the bright orange bill (darker near the tip) still a little white, legs also very bright orange. Scapulars mottled with black and notably elongated, rest of mantle has bold dark banding over tan. The mane was very noticeable, which a few of us saw it flare out for a few short seconds. The bird started near the back of the slough and worked it’s way closer to the road for great views at about 50 ft. Have photos
