A hybrid could be an option, but lou and me agreed that most likely is a LBBG. Any other opinion?

Looks like a big LBBG to me.

in the context of this bird i was searching for 3rd cycle LBBGs with similar tertials in late autumn. not so many to find - usually there are only 1-2 "immature" looking TT among adult like ones.
isn't that something unusual beside its size?
