Dean Edwards & David Trently suggested we saw a Northern
Waterthrush instead of a Louisiana.
We reviewed Sibleys, Stokes, Peterson, et. al last night, & the
eyestripe sure was bright & looked white to both of us (not
creamy or buff).
Upon further review...
We believe Dean & David are correct, not only because the
habitat & migration more closely matches the Northern as they
pointed out, but because the breast of the Waterthrush seen had
a distinctive bright greenish tint (which we thought was from
rubbing on surrounding algae that matched the color dead on. The
Northern has striped underparts that are often yellowish).
Thanks guys, that's a life bird!
