Observation details
Two clips attached, the second a slow-motion version of the first but with footage between wing-flicks culled out. Review of this slow-motion version shows tail pumped 2-3 times (never mind that the wings flicked open about 7 times). Field marks for Hermit instead of Swainsons: The tail pumps (albeit only visible in slow-motion video). Complete white or grayish-white eyering (in contrast to the buffy throat, auricular/malar, and upper breast). Very slightly reddish tail, primary edges, and primary coverts. Species was not accepted by eBird reviewer as a Hermit, so I changed it to a Swainson's. The faint breast spots indicate Swainson's, perhaps more than anything else.
