I was checking out the swallows for some time trying to get a decent pic and never noticed the distinctive pointed tail of a barn swallow. Not sure what else it could be besides a Tree.

Getting close to wrapping up all the birding pics from my AT hike last year. These I took with my cell phone. Sent the Canon SX730 home when I got to New Hampshire to offset the added weight of cold weather gear. 1&2. Spruce Grouse 3. Canada Jay

Thank you! I figured it was going to be a lifer of some sort, but now it has a name. -
For comparison, here's the undertail pattern of four Cape Mays that passed through SW PA recently. All were already confirmed Cape Mays on this forum and all appear to have only a dark outer edge of undertail. The OP's Cape May appears to have a more extensive dark undertail. Maybe its tail is squeezed together to hide the light central part of the tail? Or, maybe its a natural variation of first fall Cape Mays?

Ovenbird on the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania last June after the climb out of Duncannon shown in the clip. I owe this bird, its cousin thrushes on flute and many other songbirds many thanks for making my journey on trail such a splendid auditory experience. MVI_0175 Ovenbird, trimmed.mp4
