egosnell2002 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Tough, but I'd say Long-billed. Proportions seem good good on the first, and the white edged scapulars on the second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inastrangeland Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Agreed with long-billed. In the second one, the Buffy tips are broad, and limited to the tips of the feathers. In Short billed, the Buffy "tips" extend up the side of the feather too. Not sure about the first pic. Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark5 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Thanks, I had gone through this great article that was posted earlier: http://daretobird.blogspot.com/2017/08/dowitcher-identification.html?m=1 and I thought I had good IDs with the short tails and arched supercilium. I really have no experience with dowitchers though and appreciate the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
