The thinner, longer bill helped rule out Couch's Kingbird. The notched tail was another noted field mark.
This blurry flight shot is clear enough to show the rounded wings.
If accepted, this bird would represent the 2nd record for Pennsylvania.

Tropical Kingbird in Lancaster County ~ November 17, 2016
Bob Schutsky discovered a "western-type" kingbird by his house in Peach Bottom on the 16th. The next morning, Jason Horn heard it calling and realized it was a Tropical Kingbird! I headed down there that afternoon and the bird put on a good show during the hour before sundown. I was also happy to get some photos, although most of them were backlighted.
