Trevor L. Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 I think it's a phoebe, but it looks weird. Could be lighting, but I feel like I'm seeing a partial vest I'd expect to see on a pewee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had ruled that out based on lack of wing bars, but I think the overexposure washed them out. Here is another, somewhat better shot.

The Bird Nuts Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 (edited) It's an Eastern Phoebe by shape (large, deep head, long tail). I don't see anything that suggests it's immature. Edited October 25 by The Bird Nuts 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've literally LOLed at some of them. @Charlie Spencer. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going by AAB's description that the head of juvenile is lighter than that of an adult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never noticed that. It's kind of difficult to see the colors and values in these photos, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
