I know the species. I'm curious about the blight. Drought damage, disease, or autumnal cycle?

It's a sugar maple. After poking around online for info, it looks like a Rytisma fungus at work. Common "tar spot" infection. Not typically lethal, but maybe more prevalent this year owing to heat/drought?
What is the species? It's possible the blight is specific to it.
