1-2 - Tree Swallow 3 - Common Raven 4 - California Gull

Here is all the other pics I have of that bird...

Why does it have a red gony? And it's so slim...

Thank you, It was a myiarchus. I was wondering if it was a Ash-throated or a vagrant, like Great Crested Flycatcher or dusky-capped or something. It's not a black phoebe because of the large, thick bill and very long tail. It's overall too stocky for and upright for black phoebe. Thanks!

Seen at Rancho Guadalupe Dunes Preserve, Guadalupe, CA on Jan. 5th, 2021 Thayer's? The front most bird in the bottom left-hand corner.

Saw this bird at Rancho Guadalupe Dunes Preserve, Guadalupe, CA on Jan. 5th, 2021. Bird in question is the palest gull.

Saw this gull with a HUGE flock of Cali, Ring-billed, Mew, Western, Glaucous, Glaucous-winged, Herring and Thayer's Gulls At Rancho Guadalupe Dunes Preserve, Guadalupe, CA on Jan. 5th, 2021. It flew in briefly before flying back out to sea. I was thinking maybe Slaty-backed? Definitely not a gull I've ever seen around here, or ever.

Thank you! The bird in question is the one on the bottom right. The other two are western.

Orange-crowned Warbler Sniped by the bird-nuts!!

What about the very pale gull in the last two pics?

Which are Thayer's? What is the strange-looking dark-mantled bird in all of the photos?

Female/immature male. Breeding Males have the black V unibrow.
