Observation details

See photos. Messy ID but consensus across multiple platforms. Noted small size and shorter winged appearance in field (bird does not have the long handed look of Leach's) with a shallowly notched, not forked, tail, and broad rump band. Some reservations about the size of the rump patch as it relates to tail projection, but it seems to be within the normal range of variation for this (contentious) species
