Kevin Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Great Crested or Brown-crested Flycatcher? I am not sure when or where I took this photo. I had it labeled Brown-crested Flycatcher but I am now wondering if my first Id was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Shank Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 It is a Brown-crested Flycatcher. It has a paler belly and not as much rufous/brown on sides & tail as Great-crested Flycatcher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I asked because juveniles of the various Myiarchus have different tail patterns than do older birds. If this were definitively not a juvenile, then it must be Brown-crested. If it's not.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 I found a site that you copy over your photo and it tells you when and where you took the photo. https://www.pic2map.com/ The photo was taken Fri 5th of July 2019 Parker Co. TX. (North central TX.) So that means it is just a Great Crested? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 If this bird were in SE AZ, with that thick of a bill, I’d call it Brown-crested, but I suppose it very well could be GC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Sibley's Great Crested seems to have a small almost nonexistent tip an the bill. But Brown-crested seems to have a much lager tip on its bill.

birdbrain22 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 This bird appears to be a juvenile bird..feathering on the face as well as a gape. And if I had to guess I'd say Great crested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I already identified this as a juvenile Great Crested 7 months ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
