I am writing about four different flycatchers.
All of these were seen today in a sparsely wooded oak forest near Sacramento. Hammond's, Grey, Dusky, and Pacific-slope flycatcher are seen here, however Pacific-slope is by far the most common.
1.
Suspected Hammond's Flycatcher
Empid with a very steep forehead, a dark lower mandible, a short tail,a bold eyeing, and a long primary projection.
2.
Suspected Grey Flycatcher
Empid that showed a large bill, a long tail that flicked down, and a short primary projection.
3.
Suspected Dusky Flycatcher
this empid had a rounded crown, no distinct eyering, and had a short primary projection.
4. Not sure which empid this is as it flew of before I could really observe it, looks like a Hammond's or a Pacific-Slope Flycatcher.
Thanks for the help with the identifications.
