Around noon today I shot N669UA, a United 767-300, departing 31 at LGA. I was totally surprised to see this plane!

dang, AMA is one of ua's biggest paint shops , we even painted their first 747 and 777 in new colors. Yet even with what we are doing, there are still birds with old colors ;)
Great Shot Josh ! Glad you got it and glad it is one of those with out a doubt it's LGA shots, sweet !
From what I understand this flight was upgraded from 752 to a 763 due to a significant overbooking on the 752, and DTW was just a fuel stop do the very strong headwinds on Westbound flights the last couple of days of up to 170 knots. B6 had around 20 transcon fuel stops on Friday and US had 12 in MCI alone.
Cheers

Luckily, I got on an earlier delayed flight, and actually made it into LGA earlier than I was supposed to!
