I could not find an illustration which matched this unknown to me bird in Peterson's field guide and so turned to an internet search. I am thoroughly convinced that this was a rare vagrant blown across The Pond by a Fall storm, but have no photos for proof. The red underwings and Robin-like form were unmistakable. It stayed for two days in our fields and was gone. Given its rarity on these shores I thought the members here would find it of interest even at 5 months remove.
