Caribbean Elaenia? St Eustatius (May 2017) (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
Not the best angles, but are the markings and bill shape/colour enough to confirm that all three are Caribbean Elaenia?

thanks, Brenda

First two are tanagers, I'd suggest Scarlet if that's an option there. Third is a tyrannid, wouldn't want to guess at that angle without knowing options on that island
 
Scarlet Tanagers are an option there. Thanks.

Re: Tyrannidae, Avibase lists only 2 (Caribbean Elaenia and the Gray Kingbird). Beak seems to small to be the latter.
