Roadguy205 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Lafitte’s Cove in Galveston #1. same bird then we came by nearby an hour later. Could be the same or different bird #2 no sounds. A Least was reported here. Merlin says least Least, Willow or Alder. Any of those are a first but believe we are flycatcher sp. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan B Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Looks like Traill's to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 20 minutes ago, Aidan B said: Traill's Aka Willow or Alder, but not sure which. Compared to a Least Flycatcher, the eye ring is less distinct and the overall body shape is more long and slender, vs the much more compact, big-headed appearance of a Least. beyond Willow/Alder, it’s largely speculation. I’m personally leaning toward Alder personally due to the greenish hues to the upperparts, rounded head, etc. However maybe it’s an eastern Willow and I’m just used to western Willows. Anyway yeah probably not identifiable to species with confidence but I agree with Aidan 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I agree this is a Traill's, and I am also leaning Alder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
