MWM Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Taken near Montezuma NWR NY, wondering if it's possible to ID from this pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) It looks like an Eastern Wood-Pewee to me, not an empid I could be wrong though Edited June 12, 2021 by AlexHenry 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasan Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Definitely an Eastern Wood-Pewee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Thanks, last time I ID'd a bird as E. Wood-Pewee it got kicked back as a Least Flycatcher by ebird. I was hearing Wood-Pewee, Alder, & Willow Fly. all around, but this guy was silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Another for E. Wood-Pewee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Note the very long primary projection, which rules out all empies. If you squint really hard (or lighten the photo), you should also see the dark smudges on the longest under-tail coverts -- a feature that rules out the genus Empidonax and one that is typical of Contopus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
