Observation details
Seen with Kris P and Greg S. Long chase given starting in goldenrod section about 50 yards southwest of eastern border of farm fencing (right where Chuck H found one a week ago). Finally got decent looks and a couple of photos. Not 100% positive on ID, since it appears to be a younger bird. A few field marks in favor of LCSP vs HESP. Bill seemed smaller, cheek seemed lighter. Very faint crown-stripe did appear whitish in color. Overall body shape seemed daintier than HESP. What was lacking was a bold white crown stripe. Also lacking the purple nape (but no greenish tint for HESP either). Kris P is going to post a bunch of photos she took for further evaluation.
