Could be, although it'd be earlier than I've ever seen a RLHA west of the
Cascades. IME, it's possible for experienced eyes to mistake a dark juvie
RTHA for a RLHA.

FWIW, I positively ID'd a dark RLHA on Saturday 10/12 closely south of the
Columbia River, NE of Grand Coulee, flying over a high shrub steppe basin,
a long way from you. I have not yet seen a RLHA this fall near our home in
Ellensburg.
