I had posted this on the old forum, but I don't think I ever got a consensus from the members.

If so, it would be the only one we've seen in July here. They're a winter visitor for us.

I think it's an odd individual, whatever it is. Brown-headed Cowbird, perhaps. The females often have that white line at the bottom of the wing.

That was my first impression.
