AlexHenry Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Yes, note the overall olive and yellow coloration with little contrast, yellow undertail coverts, indistinct olive streaking on sides of breast, broken eye ring, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This actually is lutescens, with the yellow washed eye arcs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalarope713 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Agreed. The first Orange-crowned of the year are just starting to pass through Colorado. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the beast looks too dull for lutescens. Since it's on the front edge of OCWA migration into/through Colorado, it's almost certainly an adult male, which can be quite yellow in orestera. I've seen breeders in Colorado that looked like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
