Mourners Pipeline Road Panama (1 Viewer)

Hello all,

took these photos in mid december at pipeline road. Seen at almost the identical tree but some hours apart. IDed the bird in photos 1 and 2 as Rufous Mourner and 3 and 4 as Speckled Mourner. Can anyone confirm the ID? Unfortunately these are screenshots of the RAW-Preview as Lightroom messes up the colors in both photos when importing which I never experienced before :(

Thanks in advance,

Leo

For 3/4, the markings on the coverts are pretty conclusive, Speckled Mourner.

For 1/2, the confusion species would be Rufous Piha, and I don't remember details of underside of the bill coloration for instance, but overall structure / what I can try to see in two photos doesn't strike me as a really large bird so Rufous Mourner seems a fair bet.
