Hello!

Please help me identify these birds from the Abaco island of Bahamas, all photographed in December

1. Female Bahama Yellowthroat? Spotted in a dry area, a local birdwatcher identified it as a Bahama Y. Now looking at the photo I am in doubt
2. ?
3. Lesser Yellowlegs?
4. ?

Thanks!

I think #4 is a Western Spindalis.

I am leaning slightly more towards Greater for the yellowlegs but am happy to be corrected!

1) Looks kind of small-billed and muted coloration, I think Common Yellowthroat.
2) La Sagra's Flyctacher
3) Greater Yellowlegs
4) Western Spindalis.

Thank you
Here is one more picture of the Yellowthroat. I don't have enough experience with the Common Yellowthroat but after looking at many pictures on the web I can see that this one has a somewhat longer bill. And also the habitat is better for the Bahama Y...
