Bigdaddy44 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 This is from SE AZ (Miller Canyon near Sierra Vista, AZ) on 07/2720. I though the lack of rufous in the tail was the defining characteristic. Hoping for some input on this ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Looks good! Along with the lack of rufous on the tail, notice the very petite structure and small bill which is unique to the smallest myiarchus flycatcher in NA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I agree. Bill doesn’t seem thick enough for BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 On the closed tail, the upper side is not what you need to see, as the rufous on Myiarchus tails is on the inner webs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
