PapaDMH Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Fort Fisher on the coast of North Carolina. Northern Waterthrush would be the expected bird here, but Louisiana is not unheard-of, and one was reported on the same trail a week ago.

You're right, dang, I'm pretty sure it's a Louisiana now. In addition to what you mentioned, that's some broad streaking and the bill looks quite chonky... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Just now, Seanbirds said: Just curious, what features are pointing you to Northern? The supercilium ends at a point and the streaking is dense. I could certainly be wrong, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I think it's a Northern. I can see some spotting on the throat, and I don't think the eyebrow is broad enough at rear. Besides, those legs look pretty dull pink as well. Northern for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this; density of breast streaking also favors Northern. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
