Observation details
first found by Mark Peterson on 2 May Although I thought the bird looked too dark relative to the female MALL thing paired with it for it to be a pure MEDU, I've discussed the bird with Steve Mlodinow, and agreed with his ID of MEDU. The streaking in the face rules out male MODU, and the yellow bill rules out females of any North American MALL species, while the wing pattern rules out MODU. See Mark Peterson's checklist for pix of the bird in sunny conditions in which it shows much stronger buff tones (https://ebird.org/checklist/S172144915).
