Awesome! And always glad to help! Luckily he has part of his crown showing (it doesn't always show), and what really helps is seeing the wing pattern. There is a thick white bar, a solid black patch, then really close together yellow streaks. They are pretty distinctive once you get familiar with their look!

Thanks Ashley! I didn't think I'd get an ID, and this one is new to me too!
