Media notes
Repeatedly dropped tail down, then up. Loud whit call note
Observation details
2 w/ typically longish billed with dark tip to lower mandible and classic tail drop action; However, the bird photographed gave me fits - the bill doesn't look long enough in photo (but visually appeared longer in other poses), and I can only see a hint of its yellowish base, and bill appears characteristically "thinner/flatter" rather than thicker/rounded as in Dusky). In the end,its repeated downward tail drop action outweighed my doubts.
