Hal, I agree 100%! I has forgotten about this bird, and at the time I saw it I was not familiar at all with Northern. Found the edits after seeing the Duck River bird again and immediatley came to the same conclusion. Sorry i missed yoir comment til now. Much appreciated though!

Hey Mike,

This looks more like Northern/abieticola to me. Heavy bellyband, rufous drip like marking on the upper breast, and location fit better for Northern RTHA in my opinion.

Hope all is well,

Hal
