Observation details
Great find by Dave. Bird was starkly different than surrounding BBPLs: very shiny gold, dark auricular spot, and proportionally much more delicate. Smaller bill, smaller head, smaller body. Plumage was also much finer looking. When viewed from the rear the bird consistently showed three tertials. Seen in flight several times; no dark wing-pits. It was very aggressive with the BBPLs.
