Observation details

I thought this bird looked intermediate in the field but wasn’t certain. I asked some friends for opinions and they agreed. Clark’s-like features: thin black stripe down the back of the neck; bright cheddar-orange bill. Western-like features: sides not speckled with white, which would make them appear paler; black around eye reduced but white not totally encompassing the eye
