Media notes

Calls given while sitting on sandbar in the middle of one of the aquaculture ponds. Recordings of WWTE and BLTE both have some qualities to them that this individual doesn't seem to have, so still unclear.

Observation details

Juvenile bird. After consulting with some other folks, despite the weird timing for one to show up, the field marks of all gray tail (WWTE showing some white in most juvs) and darker markings on the opu make this more BLTE which would be the most likely vagrant.
