Hi Chris, and others,
No, I didn't see enough to be certain of it being a RTHU. I made an
assumption, which now appears to be wrong. I only saw it for a
couple seconds, without optics. I did catch green on the back, and
did not catch any gorget color.
Thanks for the info and your experienced opinion. I wish the heck I
had a feeder to put up!

winter bird that is on the move - and probably not a RTHU. Did you
get a good enough look to make any sort of tentative identification?
