Yes that is most probably Morning's Thief.  Sometime stop to look when 
Fountain isn't erupting because it's much easier to see that Morning and 
Morning's Thief are separate features.  Morning's Thief is a feature that is 
separated from Morning by a sinter wall between Morning and the vent that is 
Morning's Thief.  Once Fountain starts and sends water into Morning and 
Morning's Thief fills, it appears that Morning's Thief is part of Morning, 
but it isn't.
