Without again obtaining a discernible "tell-tale tail" photo, and in the full knowledge of the extremely low odds of the Aquebogue bird being an Allen's, after further perusing yesterday's, as well as today's, shots, it seems the bill is too long for a Rufous, plus it appears to be slightly de-curved. So...I'm led to ask the following question: has hybridization ever been documented between these 2 species of the same genus ?
