On a day where we saw a lot of flycatchers and eventually caught up with Nutting's Flycatcher which was our target species.
Trawling through photos recently came upon these (I've had to do some PP to pull detail up as bird was in quite deep shade). Any reason why this isn't Brown-crested Flycatcher? We recorded definite Brown-crested at this site/date but just worried a little that this bird seems quite weak-billed compared to how I remember previous Brown-crested albeit those were a few years ago & in the USA and wondered if there is any regional variation in bill size/depth ...
Thanks - Chris
