Observation details
I was very surprised to flush what I assumed was an Eastern Meadowlark. But after reviewing the photos, I am leaning heavily to Western, and reporting it as such. Overall gray-brown in tone (not rufous). Very limited white on the tail; only r5 and r6 appear to be white, with quite strong shaft streaks. What I think are new incoming retrices appear to be dark. Overall pale utcs. Of course, it did not sing. Looking forward to ebird reviewers setting me straight.
