Title: Empidonax ID? Bird 2
Post by: Simcoe on May 18, 2020, 08:50:06 AM

The second bird seemed to have a more complete eye-ring, and at best a bit of a dark smudge on the bill.  The tail was longer and thbe body was not as compact as Bird A.  But it also had a yellow wash across its belly.

Once again, any help would be appreciated.

identifying flycatchers is a guessing game, with colour variance and lighting is really not possible to distinguish them , except for Least which is alot smaller. To heard their calls is the best way
