Title: Flycatcher ID
Post by: Andreas Jonsson on September 11, 2008, 11:52:37 AM

I apologize for the poor picture quality. This is one of those tricky flycatchers. At first I thought it was a wood-pewee, but the primary projection seems too short. The bird has a clearly visible crest. Short bill and moderate primary projection points me to yellow-bellied fly catcher. What do you think?

No, unfortunately not. That would have made it easier for sure.
