mmillner99 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 This was taken on Sept 17 at Crow Valley Campground near Briggsdale Colorado. There are a few which look so much alike I can not tell them apart. I'm hoping you all can thank! Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Cordilleran? I’m only familiar with eastern flycatchers so wait for more responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Okay, with the broken eye ring, yellow flashing on the wings, and faint smudged vest, why isn't this a Ruby-crowned Kinglet? Thanks! Edited September 21, 2022 by Charlie Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Definitely an Empidonax flycatcher. I’m think Hammond’s with that tiny bill with a dark lower mandible. Primary length looks fairly long to me too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! It feels structurally wrong, plus the posture and bill shape is kind of off. Also, it don't got no yellow feet. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan B Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I'd agree with Hammond's, this is a pretty straightforward individual as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
