Eastern dark Group (alpestris Group)
US-IL
11ISSF, but BOW has 42! Wowza! Several in US, but only a couple are in the US-IL area.
Plumage consistent.
M/F differ, as male slightly larger, darker than female.
One nemesis bird down! While I did not expect to see many HOLA in US-VA, the US-IL population was supposedly year round so was always on the look out.
