Observation details
This bird, an immature, was heavily bleached around the head, neck and breast. It did not appear to have orange coloration in front of and above the eye, but I had trouble seeing this feature in the field (I did not have a scope). I have included some photos that seem to support that conclusion. The orange gular area was not extremely pointed, and with all the bleaching and its juvenile status there is no white border. I was not sure if the tail was really long enough for Neotropic. Overall, this bird was pretty disheveled.
