Lower Hudson Valley, NY #2 - Acadian Flycatcher? (1 Viewer)

[gsimonel]

I apologize for the poor angle at which this bird appears in these photos. I took these photos yesterday at Rockefeller State Park in Sleepy Hollow, NY, in a deciduous forest near a permanently wet area between two creeks. My first thought was that it was an Acadian Flycatcher because of the yellow underparts, but perhaps it's a juvenile Eastern Phoebe?

It is an adult Eastern Phoebe. Note all dark bill, no wingbars, etc. Also, too early for Acadian Fly or juvenile phoebe.

Thank you for the information, Jim. The yellowish underparts are what made me suspect the other two.
