Bigdaddy44 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 This was taken at the overlook at Fort Bowie National Historic Site in AZ. The lack of rufous in the tail eliminates the Dusky-capped. The very light yellow on the belly and whitish throat also suggests Ash-throated to me. Bill size also looks like it is smaller than the Brown-crested. All I have experience with is the Great Crested Flycatcher and it looks like the Brown-crested bill is more in line with the Great Crested Flycatcher. Would appreciate any additional input on this ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdaddy44 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 I guess I should have said the presence of rufous in the tail eliminates the Dusky-capped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Yup, you absolutely got it! Also, in terms of habitat, it definitely looks like classic Ash-throated territory. Edited July 29, 2020 by Benjamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdaddy44 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Yeah, the habitat was brushy with basically no trees and I had that play into my ID thoughts as well, but I have been shot down a few times where these guys end up where they typically aren't supposed to be.
