- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S99568121
- Comments: "Continuing bird seen quite distantly through scope. Smaller than RBGU with obvious and extensive white in the tertials. Dainty-billed, no dark ring visible. Round-headed, seemingly thin-necked. Attempted Digiscoping probably not good but others might have pulled diagnostic photos. Multiple observers - found this AM by R. Mandelbaum."
