She (and her mother) couldn't ID it so she called me and we talked yesterday. From her verbal description, I had no clue, so she mailed me the photos, which arrived today. You need a magnifying glass but the field marks are clear. I lucked onto these images on this blog but still can't tell what the bird is. I've been looking around on the web, but my dial-up situation makes it frustrating. Thought I'd simply ask for help. Thanks in advance!
