Taylorjane Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) This bird was seen last week in Ramsey Canyon Arizona. We believe it is either a Cordillarian or Hammonds flycatcher. Any help with a positive ID would be greatly appreciated! Thank You Edited April 30, 2021 by Taylorjane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan B Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Definitely either a Cordilleran or Pacific-slope Flycatcher. I'm not sure what the status of Pacific-slope flycatchers are at the location, so that species might be ruled out by range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorjane Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Thank you Aidan ~ I believe Pacific-slope is in the range, but Hammonds and Cordilleran are more frequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 @Tony Leukering? My thought was buff-breasted flycatcher, but I have no experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought was buff-breasted flycatcher, but I have no experience Curious as to why you think it would be one if you have no experience with BBFL? Suffice to say, it's not a BBFL. This is either a Cordilleran Flycatcher or Pacific-slope Flycatcher. Cordilleran is the more expected species at this location but they are most safely distinguished by voice. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen pictures of them and given range and that I’m a very new birder, it just popped into my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
