I only saw juvenile PAJA before so will appreciate ID confirmation from the expert(s.) I am pretty sure it is a Parasitic as all traits point to that ID but as I entered this record in eBird it would be nice that others agree. I see only 3 PAJA records entered this year in Texas.

Thanks in advance,

Mark
