The body was definitely gray not yellowish. When I saw it closer and in better light, I noticed the rust on the head and rump. This eliminated the Evening Grossbeak.

The White-winged Crossbill is lots smaller and has red on the breast and throat. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:50:00/10:05:00.
