I'm not sure this is possible without a clear view of the upper tail pattern, although the underpart pattern and non-contrasting brownish head suggest Lesser. Any rear views?

No, Unfortunately. Thanks for the look. We had called it a Lesser in the field, because we could not get any white in the tail with our bins.

Thanks again for the time.
