Fw: [Birdtalk] Some kind of warbler??

[Cliff and Lisa Weisse]

Doug,

This is not a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.   The bill is way too wide and the 
tail is too long.  I sent you a personal email suggesting it is an 
Empid.  That note is pasted below.

Good birding.

Cliff

This looks like a Dusky Flycatcher to me.  It's definitely a flycatcher 
in the Empidonax group and the gray head contrasting with the olive back 
looks right for Hammond's/Dusky.  Hammond's are found in coniferous 
habitats (especially mature Douglas Firs here in Island Park), Dusky's 
prefer deciduous habitats including Aspens.  Hope this helps.
