Very tentative, please correct if this is wrong or the evidence is insufficient. A photo of a definitive RTHA x RSHA taken just metres south of here by a non-birder has been shared on the Ontario Birds discord recently.

These photos were taken through the window of a bus. I had a quick glimpse of the bird's front: seemed to have a reddish wash to it, and the belly band stood out as different than what I'd expect, perhaps extending further down the abdomen. Note the tail barring in the second picture here. Distinguishing the two species by GISS is beyond my skills, but perhaps someone may have some thoughts on that.

I may try to come back and search for it properly some time soon if I have the time.
