Roadguy205 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Red-naped has been showing up in rare bird reports for this exact location in Houston. Believe this one is Yellow-bellied but there has been discussion among those of us who saw it so wanted more expert confirmation. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Yellow-bellied. No red nape so not male Red-naped: no white throat so not female Red-naped. Edited January 19, 2022 by Charlie Spencer 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be gone by now. I'm sorry to be such a downer! Edited January 19, 2022 by Charlie Spencer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ones often go unreported for weeks or even months before they’re refound. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
