Detalhes da observação
Chopper and I saw two Empids with a Pewee around 9 am, at the right hand (north) end of the meadow edge. Photos here of one of those birds. (I think Chopper and Liz had a LEFL earlier at the other end.) Both of our Empids did short flights and brief perches a few times, then this one perched in the sun and preened for these photos. After studying the photos for underside coloration, head shape, and primary projection, and soliciting opinions on VA-Bird, I changed this species from Empidonax spp. to Yellow-bellied. I see substantial yellow below, a rounded head, and a long primary projection. Two other birders leaned towards this ID among possible Empidonax, and one thought it looked like Acadian. The bill does appear long-ish, which would suggest Acadian; but to me the underside seems too yellow for ACFL. After collecting a number of review comments from many birders and no feedback from eBird, I changed this report back to Empid spp. Much thanks to everyone for looking at this and giving me your thoughts.
