Observation details
Suspect Black-chinned x Costa's based mainly on the color of the gorget. The eBird taxonomy does not have this hybrid combo, but there are a few documented records per the Handbook of Avian Hybrids of the World by McCarthy. http://www.spinus.info/Images/books/AH743697479746.pdf However, some photos of reported Black-chinned x Anna's appear to show a gorget color approaching this bird, and perhaps the fact that the tail extends well beyond the wing tips would be a clue to Anna's parentage?
