Would I be right in thinking that this bird is a Cassin's Vireo? Appreciate your assistance in advance. Dave T

Thank you for your suggestion, I had northern beardless-tyrannulet as my go to bird but there were doubts about some of the matching features.

No excuses for this poor image, shutter speed, hand shake, you name it, it wasn't right but an image to review. Taken at Paton Centre, Patagonia, Arizona, USA 19th May this year. Again many thanks for your help in advance. Dave

Broad-bodied Chaser

I have now visited two locations to try and get a first sighting of a Common Clubtail but alas it was not to be. Instead I was rewarded with the following.

Not the best conditions to venture out to seek butterflies, chilly, windy and overcast. I just hoped there would be a break at some point. Not much flying but I secured my target.
