Media notes
Apparent hybrid parent right, with Clark's parent center and backcrossed hybrid offspring left. Note amount of dark around eye of offspring(white supraloral spot okay for Westerns and hybrids at this time of year).
Observation details
Adult hybrid with Clark’s mate and backcrossed offspring. Adult did not look too off for a CLGR, but had dark extending to top edge of eye. I could have passed it off for a Clark’s with maybe some distant Western heritage, but the offspring have extensive dark around the eye. Photos of both, along with the Clark’s to add.
