It has a yellow beak SGB, juveniles don't have a yellow beak?
but I see streaks on the breast ? :roll:

Seems like there is one on the porch too....

I'm pretty sure it was a young adult...I finally got a look at the wings and tail...(not a good look at the breast)...no cream bands anywhere...

Maybe an adult from 2008?

cases of doubt (don't know if that is a good translation)

I've asked Dorine & this is her answer:

This is mom Bea, who is very stained it looks like she have not grown up.
She is very tan (beige?) that also gives the confusion.

They are so dedicated to their eggs and nest it was so sad they didn't have any young this time
