Beobachtungsdetails

I know this is well south of its range in Ohio. The two-note call caught my attention initially, which I tried to record (attached) among the raucous Blue Jays. After I got the recordings, it flew higher into the trees. At that point, I got a couple distant, heavily-cropped photos. In addition to its song, plumage markers supporting BCCH include: it appeared to have a “messier,” less-defined bib line; the brighter white coloring seemed to extend beyond the face back to the nape area where Carolinas are duller and grayer; and the tail appears relatively long. Couldn’t get a good look at the secondaries, as they were never visible in its positioning. I know BCCH and CACH hybridize and can even learn one another’s songs, but the song and plumage markers together seem to indicate this was a BCCH. Given that the remnants of Hurricane Florence just blew through from the SE, would it be possible that this could be a WV/Appalachian bird that was blown in as opposed to a northern Ohio bird?
