Observation details

Continuing bird. Similar in size to BBPL but more slender & upright. Golden overall instead of the gray of BBPL. Black feathers on belly & middle of breast. Conspicuous supercillium. When it was flushed by an eagle, I was able to see the white underwings compared to the black underwings of the BBPLs. The bird returned to the field by itself & was closer so I took the attached record photos
