  We extend our analysis of the leading hadronic contribution to the anomalous
magnetic moment of the muon using the mixed representation method to study its
chiral behavior. We present results derived from local-conserved two-point
lattice vector correlation functions, computed on a subset of light two-flavor
ensembles made available to us through the CLS effort with pion masses as low
as 190 MeV. The data is analyzed also using the more standard four-momentum
method. Both methods are systematically compared as the calculations approach
the physical point.
