An extremely rare vagrant to the UK from North America, yet to be recorded in Norfolk. The only photos I have are from Florida and California where the races floridanus and albociliatus occur respectively. Nominate auritus is more likely to occur in Europe but these differ only slightly (mainly in the colour of the adults' tufts behind the eye).
