hey fella,

yeah. it's a strange one for sure. I was thinking of Brown (have seen both subspecies here) but not all the features fit. Eastern race of RBS do have a lot of grey on the back/mantle but something about the bill and eye mask don't fit either. It could be an Izzy/RB/Brown-type hybrid but it is hard to call it 100% RBS...looks like me list is stuck on 298 for now...
