Hey all,
Having seen additional photos shared on Facebook by Sean Pursley, I think the case for Pacific over American is strong. The photos show a remarkably short primary projection, a relatively long bill, and significant white in the flanks and sides of the undertail with a narrow strip of white running down the side of the neck. More photos/angles would be awesome, but based off of Sean's photos I think this bird is quite convincing for Pacific.
