[Maine-birds] "Patches"

Hello all,

I'll put this out to the group as I've lost track of the hybridization state of affairs with the specimen known familiarly as Patches. I photographed a specimen at Pelreco that looks like it might be a cross,
but after looking at photos it might be a straight-up Little Blue transitioning to adult plumage. Two-tone bill, grayish lores, very pale irides. Much more blue present on the dorsal side of this bird than shows
in the photo.I had just mentioned Patches to Noah Perlut in a chance meeting with him moments before at Seaveys Landing so that bird was on my brain. Would appreciate feedback on this, thank you!
