I just saw some photos obtained in the field of this bird and am leaning
toward drab Cassin's Vireo based on the pattern on the rectrices. The pale
edges don't look nearly as wide in photos as they did in the field.
Sometimes we see what we want to see I guess.
Happy birding and vagrant finding to all,
Dominik
