Observation details

The flycatcher at Fields was a very interesting bird. Apparently it has been around since the first of the week, found by Jeff Gilligan and others. We saw it the evening/late afternoon of the 13th. At the time we all thought it might be a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. Here is my written description: Description–It was a very striking bird and appeared to be in fresh bright plumage. The upperparts were very green from crown thru rump. Even the top of the tail looked greenish. There were no brownish, grayish or real olive overtones to the upperpart coloration. The underparts were bright yellow from throat to throughout. The wings were dusky with two prominent yellowish-white wing bars. Edges of the wings were also the same yellowish-white color. The eyering was complete, bold and with no obvious posterior extension. There was only a hint of any “teardrop” shape to the eyering. It was fairly even in thickness except at the top where it was slightly thinner. The bill was large and wide and the lower mandible was all yellow-orange. Unfortunately the bird was completely silent.
