(over) voice + strong facial pattern rules out vesper sparrow (as does numbers and behavior. Lack of white in greater coverts rules out ♀/i lark bunting. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:30:00/09:30:00.

Other observers include Tom Kent, Jim Dinsmore, and Francis Moore. | Elimination of similar species: We did not see any ruby-throats for a comparison while the rufous was present. But when we saw a female or immature ruby-throat later in the day, we remarked that it looked smaller, slimmer and greener than the rufous. [...] The distinct, rusty color, especially on the back, fits no other species. | The original documentation form event lasted from 18:30:00/21:00:00.

Because of the rufous on the back just above the wing it is most likely a Rufous or Allen's, and of those two, Rufous would be more likely from its range. | The original documentation form event lasted from 11:00:00/11:02:00 on November 4, 10:45:00/11:45:00 on November 5, and 12:05:00/12:10:00 on November 9.
