Thank you all for the input. It is much appreciated.

Not sure if this one will be identifiable... SW Alberta earlier this week.

Southern Alberta about a month ago

SW Alberta, this morning.

Thanks. I thought the cap wasn’t black enough and the body not yellow enough so I convinced myself it must be something other than a Wilson’s.

Window strike that later recovered and flew away. I only took this one photo. SW Alberta earlier today.

Here is an mp3 of the audio... 00001.mp3

It is a video file. I will try to convert and repost.

SW Alberta yesterday. Observed along brushy edge of pond in aspen and cottonwood forest. I have attached audio/video of the bird calling (link after last photo). 00001.mkv

Thanks again!

Here are more photos (as well as repeats of the original three). The first 3 photos were taken through a window. The 3 photos of the bird perched (with the bill appearing thinner) have a solid white background behind the bird (and are cropped more) which may be contributing to the appearance of the bill losing some thickness in the photo. With that said, I can't say for sure that this is only one bird in all of the photos.

The photos were all taken within minutes of each other. I think they are all of the same bird but I am not 100% certain. I don’t have feeders in my yard. The bird was feeding in a willow tree outside my kitchen window. Calliope and Rufous are expected around here but I thought there might be a chance this was a Black-chinned.

SW Alberta (20km west of Pincher Creek) earlier today.
