Details:
I was taking pictures of sunset from my 8" telescope. While I was checking the photos on my computer I spotted the sunspot and a satellite. I checked the website https://in-the-sky.org/satpasses.php and see the satellite could have been ISS (ZARYA).

Looks more like a bird, unless ISS lost one bank of solar panels.

could be... lost solar bank could be result of sunlight. But since the ISS transit time is 1/10 of a sec, it would defy odds of random capture, so highly unlikely. Bird or bug is most likely.
