Trying to figure out what happened here with the hummingbird's wings. This was shot with my R6 MKII and a Tamron 150-600mm at about 500mm. At first I wondered about shutter roll but it's not what that looks like.

Hmmm. I agree it doesn't look like normal e-shutter readout lag, but I can't think of anything else that could cause that. In terms of my understanding of how e-shutter works, writing out lines of data, the horizontal lines on the left wing would seem to indicate that still might be the cause.
 
Did you use any type of masking or 3rd party sharpening, etc apps? I see odd larger halos behind the feet and tail.
