Just saw at close range, a red-wing like bird but slightly smaller and not as glossy as a male red-wing. I t shows a “muddy” white slash where the epaulets should be while perched and reddish on the shoulders in flight. I wonder if I was looking at a first year male tri-color? If so it’s a lifer for me. The Baltimore is still here.
