Saul Panzer Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Seen in Bexar County last weekend. I'm not familiar with that region so any help would be appreciated! Flycatcher by Fred Durkin, on Flickr Flycatcher2 by Fred Durkin, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiley Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Looks like one of the Myiarchus Flycatchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Panzer Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 I was thinking it might possibly be an Olive-sided, as I can't see much if any yellow on the belly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerMaeve Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Great-Crested Flycatcher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I agree with Myiarchus sp. Long body proportions and bill size/shape are suggestive. Ash-throated, Brown-crested, and Great Crested all occur in Bexar County and given the visible gape flange in pic 1 and the patchy plumage, I'd call this a juvie. Bill isn't quite as large as I'd expect on BCFL, but belly isn't quite as yellow as I'd expect for GCFL. However, given the quality of the photos, I don't think this would be identifiable past juv. Myiarchus sp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Great-crested" (note hyphen and lower case on the second word) would infer the crest is great. "Great Crested" on the other hand (note no hyphen so the second word is uppercase) infers the Flycatcher is great and crested. Just common name semantics Edited July 3, 2018 by Liam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
