I have drawings of one from northern VA about 20 years ago. One was banded and photographed at Cape May (early1990's?). At least some show that effect Patty describes, of the yellow supraloral spot and white throat against charcoal gray hood. I don't remember where any published photos are, but perhaps somebody else can give references.
