HamRHead Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Today Augusta, GA. It looks like a Pine, but the undertail coverts should be white I think. Staining maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melierax Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I'm going out on a I-don't-know-anything limb to guess female Bay-breasted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 It's a head-scratcher at first. It certainly is not a Bay-breasted (which tend to be yellow in the head and white in the throat). It seemingly cannot be a Blackpoll either as the feet are quite clearly dark. Frankly, the darkness and uniformity of the bird's head and face contrasting with a yellow throat leaves Pine as our only option for this bird, and it's clear from the third photo that the bird has (relatively) white undertail coverts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Tail is too long for Bay-breasted and is fine for Pine. Bill is fairly substantial -- fine for Pine. The bird is in Pine Central. I'm good with Pine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I think any off-white / yellowness is due to reflected lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do understand that don't you? Well, I wanted to 'Like' your post, just to rub your nose in it, but guess what I'm out of? Ah, irony. Oh, and we got the Tricoloreds at Phinizy last month.

HamRHead Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Nice on the tricolored! And I can guess what you're out of: 1. Likes 2. Cream of wheat 3. Lousy Sandpiper photos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
