Observation details
Update: after some disagreement among various experts and a note from the reviewer, I changed the ID to empid sp. notes left here for posterity Incredibly exciting. First noticed as a small, extremely yellowish empid, particularly in the belly and throat, with yellowish wingbars and yellowy eye ring. Bill shape thin with bright bottom mandible. Relatively short primary projection too, and generally built stout relative to Traills/ACFL. Never vocalized. Seen at 42.0683128, -70.1981400. Poor quality digibins attached Additional comments added per review request: (I also added the bit about it being small upon first noticing it) Biggest problem species: Compared to LEFL: far, far too yellow to be LEFL, especially in the belly Compared to ACFL: Built small, relative to what I would expect from an ACFL, and again, very yellow in the belly and back in a way I wouldn't expect from even the brightest ACFLs. Yellow was richer in the field than in the photos (seems kind of washed out in the photos, particularly in the eyering, which is the first thing I noticed as being strikingly yellow). Eyering also thicker than I'm used to in ACFL Observed likely around ~100 individuals over my life, including about ~20 individuals in the hand as a bander
