Observation details
At first, I thought this was a Townsend's Solitaire, but then when I looked at the photos at home, the shape and posture didn't feel right. Then I thought Mountain Bluebird since it's more expected, but the coloring didn't seem quite right - there is some buff in the lower flank area, and there appears to be a yellow gape, indicative of the WEBL. It looks just like Sibley's "drab female." Also, Merlin indicated it heard a WEBL, but I didn't see it, and am not familiar enough with thier sounds yet, so didn't count it. With this new info and digging, I'm going with WEBL. I've attached the audio where Merlin hears a WEBL (there are also DEJU and WCSP on the audio). I wonder if it's one of the birds Trey Rogers found a few days earlier.
