One male (1995-88) on 8 Oct 1995, Iberia: Spanish Lake. Although possibly correctly identified, the majority of members believed that the plumage description and behavior did not seem completely consistent with this species, especially for what would constitute the first fall record. During a five-minute observation, the reporter never mentions that the bird walks whereas he does mention that the bird was "actively feeding on insects." Characters used by the reporter to support identification and exclude other species did not include shape or behavior; the description, which primarily focused on the presence of a white eyering, only briefly covered general body coloration.
One immature (2006-025) on 16 September 2006, Orleans: New Orleans, City Park. The description actually eliminated this species.
