I had eyes and ears on the bird.  Also I have photos and recordings.  That
color is not an artifact of the light.

It will be interesting to see what folks with eyes (and hopefully ears) on
the actual bird say, but if the warm brown underparts seen in the photos
online is real and not a lighting artifact, then juvenile Boat-tailed would
be my initial vote as less likely as that would seem.  Great-tailed are
more cold grey here. Not sure how helpful voice will be for a juvenile but
definitely worth recording if it is vocalizing.

On separate note, had 2 Canada Warblers in the yard this am here in Knox
