Ok, I thought Sooty was probably a little too far out of my range and this bird looks more gray to me than brown. Thank you. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Th is is a tricky bird. How do we rlimate those slate colored subspecies that looks real similar to sooty. I’m leaning towards one of those. Edited September 18, 2020 by Connor Cochrane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Sorry, I accidentally had “night-mode” turned on. I agree with Slate-colored now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Looks like a schistacea ssp. Due to the reddish appearance for a slate colored, but lacking any white on the wing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
