    TROPICBIRD ID REQUESTED - SPOTTED 100NM SOUTH OF DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

    Thank you Stu, The Fern and Niels! I wonder therefore if you could possibly confirm that this red billed tropicbird we spotted a day later is really a red billed tropic bird? It flew lower and flapped more as I mentioned

    Spotted as part of a larger flock of Spotted Flycatchers in Southern Tuscany 15km inland from the western coast in August 2022. Initially thought it was a female or juvenile collared flycatcher due to range but am unsure if it could have been a pied flycatcher migrating through. One picture...

    Flycatcher ID Requested - Sulphur-bellied or Streaked? Spotted in the forests around Lago Pojoj, Chiapas, Mexico

    Apologies for poor quality and angles of the images. I also have sound recordings of what I think is the birds’ call, which is less squeaky than what one could expect from a Sulphur Bellied. The two sound recordings have the bird start calling at 8 seconds in and 2.5 seconds in (“Nya” call).
