(unless the color is off on your pictures it looks dark breasted isn't Mariah whiter?) But I would be more than happy to be wrong. :-[

One adult at Irondequoit Bay on 5/10, one flyby in late May at Russell Station (couldn't tell if was an adult or young adult), and this Kodak Park adult pefa on 6/13.
