This individual was mist-netted, measured, and photographed. Although some “Slate-colored” Juncos may have wingbars, this bird also exhibited the tail pattern, body color, and dark lores of aikeni, convincing eight Committee members of the correctness of the identification. This represents a unique and surprising record for Massachusetts, since there are no other records of this race east of Michigan (AOU 1998).
