I saw this bird at the George Walker House in paradise, AZ. sorry for the blurry flight picture. can anyone tell me if this is a rufous or Allens? the outer feathers seem to be wide so I am thinking rufous. thank you

I’m tending toward Rufous, for the reason you stated and also because Allen’s are usually only seen in SE AZ during fall migration. (Not to say they don’t ever come through at other times.
