Anything is possible with pigementation characters, but White-eyed Vireo would
be a vagrant in Arizona. The most obvious possibility is that it was a Bell's
Vireo.

Subject: [nysbirds-l] dark eyed white-eyed vireo in late May?
Has anyone ever had a juvenile white-eyed vireo in late May? I had a bird in
AZ that looked just like a white-eyed vireo but it's eye was dark. I know the
juveniles have dark eyes, but I've always been puzzled that it was dark at that
time of year. I would think they haven't even fledged at that time. I thought
of maybe a Mexican species but there are none that look like the white-eyed and
have a dark eye. Just wondering.
