Detalhes da observação

South of Troutman Lake in dirt piles left of sewage tank area. Single female found by Drew Lindow and Brad Benter feeding on insects on south side of hills. Initially seen flycatching and so fortunately not skulking. Mostly seen in open mud areas on sides of dirt hills but refound once on road. Small and dart-fast moving bird. But luckily sat in open areas for minutes at a time and allowed good photos. Surprisingly difficult to see due to size and perhaps drabber brown color on back and general surprisingly complex camouflage against fall tundra. Would have been very easy to miss or pass over with binoculars. Small bill, white eye ring, pale throat, drab green back and head, brown secondaries, white under-tail coverts, orange flanks extending into white belly in some photos. Blue tail evident from side. Rodney Ungwiluk jr took an extraordinarily detailed photo that shows fantastic and subtle plumage variation in this bird.
