Some more Belize Birds (1 Viewer)

[Robert D.]

Hi - any help on these would be appreciated. All pics taken in Dec 2010.

Pic 1 - taken near St Ignacio, west Belize - lesser greenlet?
Pic 2 - taken at Orange walk, northern Belize - brown-crested flycatcher?
Pics 3 and 4 - same bird taken at the Blue Hole - have not got a clue
Pic 5 taken at Cockscomb Basin - gray-chested dove?

thanks

Rob

1) Ochre-bellied Flycatcher
2) Pass
3 & 4) Has a Greenlet look to it, maybe Tawny-crowned? Doesn't look quite how I remember mine from a few years ago, nor is it that close to most of the pics I've found on theweb, other than this one

(scroll down and check out what Kathryn's holding).

5) Pass

1) Ochre-bellied Flycatcher is a good suggestion

2) Brown-crested is very uncommon in winter according to the field guide- maybe Yucatan? Do you have any other photos of this one?

3) Tawny-crowned Greenlet

4) either Gray-fronted or White-tipped Dove, I can't tell from this angle

James and ovenbird43 thanks for your help. Ochre-bellied Flycatcher and Tawny-crowned Greenlet look good.

I have only this one other shot of the flycatcher. I did however think that the wing bars may have been to bold for it to be Yucatan (better shown on the first shot). Mind you I am a struggling novice on the flycatchers.

cheers

Rob
