Media notes
Very distant shot of flycatcher.
Observation details
Very small flycatcher, gray above with white spotting on the scapulars and mantle. Whitish below with distinct streaks on breast and flanks. Wings long, primaries and tertials blackish. Two whitish wing bars and tertials with whitish edges. The thin white eye-ring was more pronounced behind the eye than in front. Legs and bill black. We did not hear the bird call. We considered juvenile Dark-sided Flycatcher for the identification, but the wingbars and tertial edges were whitish, not buffy. The bird also lacked a pale collar on the neck side, which should have been present in a young Dark-sided Flycatcher. With good scope views, the breast and flanks were crisply streaked. The ground color was whitish and the bird lacked the "vested" suffusion that a Dark-sided should have. We were unable to assess whether or not the undertail coverts were streaked. Good photos were obtained by Rodney Ungwiluk and are posted in his eBird checklist. First island record. Found by Raymond VanBuskirk.
