New, Meaningless Glitch?

Has anyone experienced any spontaneous species swaps? I've played for a while and haven't heard of such things, but this just happened to me.

Phone vibrates for a Spearow spawn, I encounter it and see it's 380CP, so I decide not to throw for it. (I usually only catch Spearows under 100CP - for dust - unless I have plenty of balls to spare.)

I set phone down with app still on, glance at the screen a few minutes later (after no new phone vibrations), and see a Fearow in the exact same spot. I encounter it and it's 1150CP.

Thinking this is an odd situation/coincidence, I decide to catch it to see what happens. First throw is a catch, but after the catch it's a Spearow... with 380CP.

Do I name it "Glitch" and see what happens to it over time, or do I toss it?

If you are at a nest at the time that nests change, any existing nest spawns will change to the new species.

This doesn't explain your example of Spearow changing into Fearow though.
