I spent quite some time trying to photograph every red-winged and Tri- colored Blackbirds in three colony areas in an area known to have Confirmed Tri-Colored Blackbirds. The males are pretty easy, the females not -so easy. I know some that were easily recognized as Red-Winged Female but these are on the fence? Any help? Also, is there such a thing as a bi-colored? Several of the males displayed ONLY bright red and no yellow or white that I could see even after watching them for a while. Can any of these be confirmed at Tri-colored?

Rough-legged Hawk? Sacramento, CA

I found another long shot angle of that hawk, it looks more like a Rough-legged now? -
I took this in my backyard, thinking it was a Nuttall's or Downy which I see all the time. It is neither based on color pattern I see. It also does not appear to follow the red pattern for the Red-breasted Sapsucker as it appears that the top of the head may be black. Wish I had more but can you help me guess? Is it just a shadow on the head and its a Red-bellied Sapsucker or is it something else, not sure what else it could be....Image taken Sept 25th this year.

I was late and just quickly snapped these as getting in car. Now looking at them they seem such a deep red color that I am wondering if it is a Purple Finch. How do you tell the difference? Thank you! Two life birds for me today! Fox Sparrow and Red-Bellied Sapsucker (I had this one, but finally got a good enough one to call it, I like to have a good image before I claim it, I know its odd....)

It is an extreme crop but it appears to have a contrasting reddish tail, Hermit Thrush? Thank you.

Yellow Warbler? Elk Grove, CA

Thank you, I am still learning and I understand Merlin is sometimes wrong, thats why I am thankful for you all! -
I have this labeled as a Yellow Warbler, but Merlin App is giving me Orange-Crowned. Which is correct? Thank you!

Here are the other Flycatcher types I got today in the same location. It could be a Western Wood-Pewee as I think there is another in this batch. Included same image for reference. You all can help me out with all of these. Wish I had better images. I only have one image of the one I posted first, I do have other angles of the others.
