Jack, the amount of yellow on your bird isn’t nearly extensive enough to be
considered a “Bewick’s.” This is a typical Bewick’s for comparison:

We took a walk around Big Meadow today and came across a couple of cooperative
swans. One of which shows yellow coloring extending toward the nostril. Not
sure what to make of it - but I thought I would share it nonetheless.

The first link is to an image of the lores in question, the second is to my
checklist of our walk.

I can't remember when I was more grateful for 10 species day.
