Missing bird IDs - Genessee Mnt/Golden, Colorado
Dear list, Having serious difficulty iD-ing these three birds. Think they are flycatchers or warblers but looking through a ton of on-line pictures and the Sibley Guide didn't provide a clear answer. These birds were next to a field and they were busy plucking insects out of the air. Pictures...- jaap.brink

Slaty-backed forktail
Can you imagine how it feels, to sit on the ground under camo nets, near a river, with dense vegetation in the back; in a country with many snakes. A wonderful forktail surprise for me because I could take pictures of a White-crowned forktail, in a paid hide at Siriphum Waterfall in the NP, as well.- jbpixels

Unknown Myiobius flycatcher, Western Ecuador
Hi guys, Here is yet another unknown ID from my trip to Ecuador. Saw the bird in dense undergrowth at Mindo (Western Slope) in Sept. 2019. Not really sure about the altitude but i think about 1300 m. I was thinking about either Tawny-breasted or Sulphur-rumped but not quite sure. What do you...- Daan van der hoeven

Black-and-white Tody-Flycatcher female
And the beautiful female to go along! I'd stopped to shelter from a rainstorm, and not long after the rain had stopped, these two came through the understory behind me, their presence betrayed by their harsh vocalizations. This is a very poorly known bird in the department of Pasco, so I was...- Thibaud

Black-and-white Tody-Flycatcher male
A lovely little Amazonian flycatcher with a strange distribution, it has populations in eastern Amazonian Brazil (mainly Pará), the Peruvian lowlands north of the Amazon, and the foothills of Ecuador and Peru.- Thibaud

Hi guys, Saw this Pewee in Eastern Ecuador at about 1500 m altitude in around October. I was thinking either Smoke-coloured or Blackish Pewee? Thanks- Daan van der hoeven

La Sagra's flycatcher
Our most rare flycatcher sighting down here - this Bahamas stray very occasionally makes its way across the straits and pops up in South Florida, quite a treat for the local birders if you manage to find it!- Zackiedawg

Great crested flycatcher
Other than eastern phoebes, most flycatchers are fairly uncommon down in south Florida, so it's always a pleasure to see any of them- Zackiedawg

Acadian flycatcher
A lifer for me, and so far the only one I've ever spotted or photographed. Not necessarily 'rare' as they migrate through South Florida fall and spring, but they don't often stop by in my wetlands areas and I had never seen one before this. Or since!- Zackiedawg

Flycatcher: Ash-throated or Great-crested?
The bird was seen today in North Cape Coral, Florida. An Ash-throated has been reported as seen in the area multiple times by a number of people lately, however Great-crested would be our norm. I don't want to report the wrong bird. Thanks!- Fandango739

Vermilion flycatcher
A gorgeous little passerine, more associated with the southwestern U.S. and Mexico...every once in a while one pops up in Florida, usually on the gulf coast - even more rarely, one will appear on the east coast, as this one did in 2018 - my first ever sighting of one.- Zackiedawg

Flycatcher
A small Flycatcher. Possibly a Least Flycatcher? I'm not sure as several varieties are very similar and I don't know them well enough to tell the differences.- wonderview
