Observation details
Odd bird. Bird gave good looks showing an incomplete black border on the throat, red on the nape, and limited black where present in the throat all pointing to RNSA. However, this bird does show more black on the throat than what I would expect on a RNSA and portions of the back appear to be still in molt. YBSA tend to be in the molt later than RNSA. Further, the amount of white on the face and extensive barring also point to YBSA. May be a RNSA x YBSA given the traits suggesting both or it has been suggested that it might just be a funky YBSA with odd molt given most of the bird looks like a YBSA. Put it down as sp because without a dna sample it's impossible to be certain here.
