Observation details
Frequent whit calls alerted me to it initially, audibly differnt from WIFL whit even to my challenged ears. Small empid with boldly contrasting wing panel - blackish covert feathers broadly tipped with buffy-white (indicated HY); big head, short tail body plan; short primary extension; white eyering with just the smallest extension to the rear; bill thickish, short-med length, broadly based and fairly blunt tipped, dark above, bright yellow-orange below w/ small dark tip,. Plumage colors hard for me to describe - see photos, and note white throat, mostly clean white sides and underparts lacking any yellow tones, only light dingyness at shoulders. A very cleanly marked empid. Photos
