Flycatcher, Manitoba, Canada (1 Viewer)

Is this an Eastern Wood-Pewee? Its posture and head shape looks for me like a Contopus species rather than an Empidonax.

Olive-sided Flycatcher does not have wingbars so this must be an Eastern Wood-Pewee.

Seen in boreal area in Eastern Manitoba, Canada. August 6, 2017.

Looks good for an Eastern Wood-Pewee. Also notice the lack of an eyering and the very long primary projection.

I agree, definitely a wood-pewee. Are you too far east for Western?

There are known places for Western Wood-pewees in Western Manitoba, but in general the whole province is the Eastern one's realm.

Thanks very much. Almost certainly Eastern then.
