These photos were taken yesterday. The first is a Vireo but not sure which one. The next two are the same bird that I believe is a flycatcher. Thanks for your help to ID.

Hi Ann,

I was thinking for #1 Blue-headed vireo at first but it doesn't show the yellow on the flanks. It looks more like a Plumbeous vireo but it would be out of range as Sibley shows it only in the fart western section of Texas. So I guess I would go with Blue-headed.

Not going to guess at #2 but #3 I think is a Yellow-bellied flycatcher

Hope they're right :t:

Matt

I would agree on both. The vireo is in the shade, but you can make out the yellow flanks contrasting with the blue head.

Go for whichever eye ringed vireo is common in your area.

Could pics 2 & 3 be a Alder Flycatcher?

What Tero said.

Cheshire Birder, I don't think it can be an Alder Flycatcher. There's way too much yellow on the bird.

Thanks for the id on the Blue-headed Vireo. With the flycatcher, I'm thinking maybe Yellow-bellied or maybe Acadian?

As I posted before I thought #'s 2 and 3 were yellow-bellied but only ovenbird agreed so far. Hopefully you get the answer you are looking for

It looks like a cracking Yellow-bellied to me as well!
