In the series of pictures below, two features are evident which may enable someone with more experience to assess whether the bird we banded is a second-year or an after second-year female (we lean toward the former)--the orange-yellow, rather than red irides and the unmolted outer rectrices, which are browner and have a different barring pattern than the adjacent molted tail feathers.  Although we do not have a photo, the flight feathers, greater coverts and primary coverts of the wing all appeared to be even-aged, while the lesser and median coverts as a block appeared somewhat contrastingly fresher and grayer, similar to the back feathering.  There was no active molt.
