Media notes
Same characters from another angle. Mask clearly does not go across bill-base, which is gray. Barring obvious in this image, and, under magnification, base of mandible is seen to be pale.
Observation details
A surprise at any time, but especially this late in the season (although, per Robbins, there are at least 4 later records). Seen atop several bushes in succession as it flew around; both perched and in flight, seen to be fully as large as the many nearby robins. Photos show structure and plumage features. Vocalized a couple of times, a fussy mewing caah-caah, and may also have been giving a bit of song, scratchy and disjointed, but heard only imperfectly at distance.
