Guest Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Need help to identify this warbler, I was told its a Sulphur Bellied warbler but I have doubts it's actually a Tickell's Leaf Warbler. Sulphuer Bellied would have a much heavier beak also the Upper mandible would be black. Thanks in Advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egosnell2002 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I'm definitely not an expert- at all. I looked through some google images and looked at some comparison photos, and I'd lean Sulphur-bellied. The auricular is pretty dull, the supercilium contrasts with the throat, and I think that the morning light might be making the breast look brighter then in actuality. The bill is throwing me a bit, although their might be some darkness just at the edge of our vision in the photo, not sure if that ID feature is 100%, I know our Eastern and Western Wood-pewees are supposedly IDable by mandible colouration, but often it's unreliable.

guy_incognito Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I don't know what other besides those two should be considered. However, between those two, I also would favor Sulphur-bellied. Here is a link that compares the two: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjPjNi9-pbfAhWjMnwKHUKVCG8QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.es%2Fpin%2F302515299947304720%2F&psig=AOvVaw0ObHgyekaV7gY0SD0FSBSb&ust=1544589452359315 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
