Hi Gary,
That bird looks like a hybrid, and has been called a hybrid by a lot of the experts on the subject. Features like the green on the head, lighter belly, white tail, and curled upper tail coverts all point to it being a hybrid. I believe that David Tønnessen posted a very informative article recently in this group, which should be searchable.
