SirVive Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I'd venture to call that a Hutton's - think they should be in range for your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Not a Hutton’s. It’s a Plumbeous/Cassin’s. I’m not sure that Cassin’s are very common in SE AZ so I’ll go with Plumbeous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akandula Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 That's plenty of yellow on the flanks. I'd lean Cassin's, which are completely possible to see in Tucson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VRVan Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 sorry about the double post, my internet where I am staying is pretty slow and I wasn't sure the first time worked. Thank for the ID help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRVan Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 I found another photo that would seem to confirm Cassin's I believe. I don't think a Plumbeous would have the olive on the back, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalarope713 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Yep, Cassin's Vireo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Plumbeous would usually lack or have little yellow/green tones across its whole plumage and have a more defined white supraloral. Edited March 26, 2020 by akandula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VRVan Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) This is a pretty cool place. Just starting my walk and the first two birds I see are a Vermillion Flycatcher and Yellow Warbler. Then Vireos! At the end of the walk I get into a staring contest with this guy.
