gpoole Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Photos taken in Nova Scotia this morning. I'm trying to ID this flycatcher by using the excellent powerpoint presentation on Empid Identification by Cin-Ty Lee that was referenced by Tony L. some time ago. I've noted the following--- shallow forehead angle--peaked crown--indistinct eyering--small bill--orange lower mandible--relatively strong wing panel contrast--medium to long primary extension. The bird was silent. There you have it, and I still don't have an ID. My best guesses are, Eastern Wood-Pewee or Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. I need more eyes on experience. Can you please help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasan Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Yellow-bellied. Notice yellow below and longer primary projection 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 It's simply too yellow to be anything but YBFL, considering that it's in NS. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Also too compact for a Wood-Pewee. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
