I.D. Help

[micpic]

I keep running into this species which I think is some kind of flycatcher. My guess is a least flycatcher. Eye ring, orange-yellow mandible, forked tail are good marks and it also has a very faint hue of yellow on the underbelly. Your help would be very helpful.

Thanks, Mike

I'd say an Eastern Phoebe.

They bob their tail while sitting on their perch.

I would say an Eastern Wood-Pewee.

here is a shot of one I got a few weeks back.

Did you hear the bird vocalize at all?

[Dave S]

Looking at Nymph's photo, I'll change my thoughts and agree with him.

The beak with a slight hook at the end being the same on the birds in both photos. I didn't notice that right away in micpic's photos.

I think you nailed it Dave. Plus in the same area I did hear Peewee songs. Thanks everyone for the help!
