Flycatcher?

Post by Greyhawk »

Birmingham, AL. Today.

If it was at my feeders I'd think it was an Eastern Phoebe and never know any better if it wasn't, but I know there are several species that I couldn't distinguish myself.

The reddishness is light coming through, or reflecting from the red plastic on the hummingbird feeder.
