Observation details

We spent over two hours watching, listening to its ‘whit’ call & following the flycatcher in the pine/Manzanita area of this park. The flycatcher has had a variety of identifications over the period since its first discovery by Stuart. Plus, a Variety of photos have been studied and was finally identified as a ‘Least’. This flycatcher never spent a lot of time perched in view where we could get fantastic/or prolonged looks until the end of the two hours. Eventually John Sterling was able to photograph the underside of the bill. What we saw was a mandible that appears to be too narrow for a ‘Least’, and its lower mandible is yellowish with a black tip, Has a Rounded head, with a whitish throat. We finally came to the conclusion it’s a dusky, for now.
