Observation details
Continuing birds. Both are males, one somewhat shabby adult male still molting a little bit, the other in heavier molt/eclipse plumage. The fact that the second bird is still molting this late, as well as the general lack of any yellow on the forehead, makes me suspect this is an immature male. The gray feathers coming in on the back and flank show it to be male. Neither bird showing any black border near the gape nor any overt evidence of green cheek patch, sufficient to eliminate hybrid. First three photos adult, second three photos immature/eclipse, last photo both together.
