Hasan Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 23 minutes ago, Aidan B said: Why is this not Orange-crowned? A number of reasons- the eyeline is very well defined, the belly appears contrastingly brighter, the cap looks to be more grayish than the rest of the body. I think the reflected light from the leaves below and the very yellowish white balance of the photo are misleading. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The first bird is a Tennessee (also note less-rounded shape than Orange-crowned). The last three photos show a female or immature male American Redstart (note the distinctive yellow and black tail pattern). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 3 hours ago, The Bird Nuts said: note the distinctive yellow and black tail pattern Also note how yellow the redstart's underparts appear, thus confirming Hasan's point about the photographic artifacts of color in these photos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winz Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Thanks everyone for the ID's. Just looking at the first bird and it has pink light colored legs. Is that because of the lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
