Observation details

Definitely seems like a CACG hybrid by size, forehead, associated CACG. Less sure on the white ancestor(s). Dark on both mandibles forming the "grin patch" but no tomia visible when messing with photo levels. Slightly larger than the CACG it was swimming with. Looks a lot like Archer's bird on https://ebird.org/checklist/S287219307
