This is exciting and very interesting to read the article as the author
takes us step by step through his thinking process. I had no trouble
accessing the article.
Here's a link to the journal's Table of Contents.
https://www.westernfieldornithologists.org/archive/V51/journal-51-2.php
The article is the last one listed, under the title of "Featured Photo".
Excellent photos as well. The listing is a live link, so when you tap on
it, you're taken right to the article.
Thank you Larry!

I just received my issue of Western Birds (Vol:51, No.2, 2020). A photo
on the back cover is of an apparent hybrid Yellow-breasted Chat and an
Oriole, assumed to be Hooded. The chat had been linked to the family of
Wood Warblers, not that anyone took that too seriously, as its taxonomy has
been an egnigma forever, although relations to Icteridae had been
suspected for some time. Here is a beautiful photo of a chat in typical
shape, pose and posture with a puzzling plumage.
I am too excited to read the article before spreading the news.
The journal "Western Birds" is available online, but a subscription might
be required to access it.
