Media notes

Poor quality, especially due to wind & cars but you can hear occasional sharp, high pitched chips.

Observation details

Okay. Very pale yellow underneath, fades into whitish breast rather than deep gray of Cassins. Still kinda has a mustache but not as strong a contrast as the cassins has. Very obvious white lines on outside of tail. Vocalizations were very high pitched, not cassins-y at all, but I’ve only heard individual chips so far, no extended calls or songs. Photos.
