Hardy--Reject, specific identification not established

While the description is permissive of RUBL, I wasn't able to get much from the photos. The bill looked compatible with RUBL, but I am not sure what to make of the greenish coloring. I'll be interested to see the other comments from members who have experience with this species.

I find the photos unconvincing, and unsupportive of the description, though I realize photographs are often poorly representative of color.

The combination of light eyes, dark mask, and rusty tertial edges all support the ID of Rusty Blackbird.

The light-colored eye, rusty back, and size all reinforce the small pictures.
