A Capitol Hill neighbor -- a casual backyard birder -- reports sighting a lark bunting in her back yard.  She describes this bird as 'black with white arc at wings.'    

I've never seen a lark bunting.  And I don't find any mention of lark bunting sighting in my MDOsprey e-mail files.  Sibley says there are 'solitary vagrants (of this species) in eastern states'.   What do the experts among you have to say -- could it have been a lark bunting?  If not, what are other possibilities?
