Observation details
Feeding in drilled eucs around here (32.8804761, -117.2387425), calling infrequently. Stayed high, not the greatest looks or lighting. Seems to be retaining some hints of juvenal plumage, with yellowish feathers, ratty crown. Lacked any red nape that I could see, unbroken black border on both sides of solid red throat, back with extensive, buffy barring on back, which suggest YBSA over RNSA to me, though I would have liked closer looks and more experience. Belly also quite yellow, though unsure how reliable this character is.
