Looks virtually perfect to me.  Only slight
variation based upon my photos from St. Johns,
Newfoundland is the mostly all dark bill, as they
most often have varying about of lighter color
towards the base.  I don't think Phil's bird is out
of the range though.

Attached is #202 from the series of photos at

small photo numbers (#) to right of each photo.

Small, short-bodied 1st-cycle Thayer's/Kumlien's-type seen today 10-10:30
at the D River outlet, still present
when I left. Markings including the primary interiors
were quite uniformly warm-brownish, it had a scap
pattern typical of Kumlien's and extensive barring in
the tail, plus very pale tertial interiors contrasting with
the darker subterminal marks. Seems to check most of
the boxes.
