OK, it looks as if that link worked, so here are three more shots of the same bird, taken this morning. Jim, is this the bird you saw?

There was discussion from others that it was just an AMWI going through
plumage change but it was not settled for sure. I think it is a hybrid
because it was not being accepted by the other AMWI present. They would
chase it away if it approached.
