Trevor L. Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Always include location. Especially helpful with the Myiarchus flycatchers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor L. Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Just now, rpartos said: Sorry, Norfolk, VA Pretty much guaranteed to be a Great Crested Flycatcher based on range. Nothing about this bird suggests anything other than Great Crested to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Yep, Great Crested. The shorter, thicker bill, shorter tail, dark eye, pale fringes on the flight feathers, and the crest at the back of head all rule out thrasher.

Tony Leukering Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Bill shape is also quite different between the two proposed species. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
