Greetings All
I've found the meadowlark at Bud Mielke a fascinating bird
The vocalizations sound great for Lilian's (thanks to Nathan Pieplow for confirming)
The photos (and some descriptions) do not. I've consulted a couple of the top birders in Arizona, and the response has been that the yellow on the malar is not consistent with the ID of Lilian's. The cheek looks too dusky. One respondent said "I almost never invoke the H word, but I do think this bird is most consistent with a hybrid."
I would be interested in seeing more quality photos (most are pretty blurry). A photo showing the tail even moderately well would be very helpful, indeed.
Best Wishes
Steven Mlodinow
ps - please put photos on a eBird checklist, if possible. I am not on Facebook, so photos there are invisible to me
