3 Flycatchers Montezuma NWR NY 9/3/22

[MWM]

First 2 pics bird #1, next 2 pics bird #2, and last 2 pics the bird #3.

[Birds are cool]

2nd bird looks like a Yellow Bellied Flycatcher

3rd bird is a pewee.

[MWM]

Wondering if first 2 pics could be a Least Flycatcher (fairly bold eye-ring)?

That's correct.

Wasn't sure if I could call it a Least or "Traill's" (put it in as Empidonax on Ebird). Here's another pic of the bird.

I'm comfortable calling it a Least.

Traill's is only used for Alder/Willow Flycatchers. They were once the same species called the Traill's Flycatcher.

I was abbreviating, Ebird has a Willow/Alder option (aka Traill's) since they are hard to distinguish except by sound.
