smskelton Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 This picture was taken this summer in the Central Cascades in Oregon. Can anyone help with the identification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor L. Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 It looks to me like a dull Say's Phoebe, but wait for more responses. I'm off my game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I agree with Say's Phoebe based on coloration and bill size/shape. The bold wingbars and fleshy gape indicate that this is a juvenile bird. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smskelton Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 I only have one other picture of this bird. Someone has suggested a "Willow Flycatcher" but I have never seen one in this area before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 This really doesn’t look like a Phoebe to me. Either Pewee or a Traill’s, I think. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 That second pic really changes things up! The throat looks a lot paler than it did in the first pic and the bill is clearly thicker than I originally thought. Bill doesn't look flat enough for a pewee. I'd call it a juvenile Traill's and in Oregon it's gotta be a Willow. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a ton of says phoebes here, and this doesn’t strike me as one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
