Observation details

Linda Benner was studying this bird when I arrived and we both concluded independently it was a Franklin’s. Dark gray upperparts, deep pink legs,shortish blood red bill with faint dark subterminal band, heavy eye arcs, small size vs Ring-bills. Sharp alternate plumage though with smaller white spots in folded primaries than expected; then again, open-wing photos show outer primary tips are badly worn. Photos.
