You're correct that at present no birds have been admitted to the A list, because of the problem of escapees. There have been some good candidates + logic says that at least some have been genuine wild birds that have arrived with a carrier species such as Wigeon.
This bird mentioned above showing to 4 feet is unlikely to be a wild bird + certainly wouldn't get accepted, but it's still a very handsome bird worth seeing if you're nearby!
