Description

Bug report

axes.errorbar rises an exception when called after markerfacecolor is included in property_cycle.
Bug summary
Apparently mfc kwarg is passed on to vline property update method, which doesn't expect it.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rc("axes", prop_cycle = 'cycler(mfc=["k","w"])')
plt.errorbar([1,3,2],[2,3,1],yerr=1)

Actual outcome
