The documentation form by Robert I. Cecil is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Redhead: These had much flatter forehead than a redhead. The bill on these birds was also a uniform black, not bi-colored. (I didn't realize this was a field mark until later when I was reviewing my notes and looking through a field guide.) | The original documentation form event occurred several times during day.
