Observation details
This bird confused me. After getting back to a computer and looking at past postings for this locale, I see there has been a hybrid Altamira/Audubon reported at this location. My photos appear to be the same bird as in a post from Dec 10th. I see color (dirty yellowish overall), black head patterning, wing patterning (lack of white in the secondary coverts) and color/pattern on the back feathers that doesn't clearly match any species, but I don't understand enough about the coloration patterning of a altamira/audubon hybrid, so I've left it as a generic "Icterus"
