Observation details
We were initially alerted by an empid ‘Whit’ call. The bird stayed for maybe 15 minutes, giving multiple opportunities for photos and recordings. Uniformly pale grayish above with no obvious olive tones, rounded head shape, noticeably long bill with all orange lower mandible. Exhibited noticeable tail wagging behavior with a clearly exaggerated downward motion. Audio and photos to come. The 3rd and 4th photos from Zac, as they appear below, capture a downward tail wag (up in 3, down in 4).
