Hi guys!
Shot this in central California mid-august last year.
Was along a river in a heavily forested area in Plumas County
I'm terrible at Flycatchers, is this a Hammond's?

Surely one of you geniuses knows what this is?

Nice to try to identify things . . . but I draw the line at Empidonax spp. :eek!:

Any calls or song? Usually necessary for Empidonax ID.

Unidentifiable from your video which doesn’t show crucial detail: size, shape and color of bill; primary projection; eye ring.

It does appear to show a fairly deeply notched tail, so I would tentatively ID it as a Hammond's which shows a deeper notched tail than Dusky. If I were making scientific record of it I would leave it as Empidonax sp.

I should have some pictures of it too somewhere. I'll post those when I find them.
Thanks for the input thusfar!
