Flycatcher Nightmare

I came across a number of Myiarchus and Empidomax flycatchers, notoriously difficult to identify..

This Myiarchus was down on the Playa d'Oro road. In this neck of the wood, up to 4 species of these flycatchers can sometimes be found on the same tree. The bright wing bars of this individual rule out Dusky-capped, and the broad-based, long bill lead me to plump forBrown-crested Flycatcher.

This next one (taken up by La Maria) had a much shorter bill. The lack of contrast between the primary edgings and secondary edgings combined with the bill points towards this one being a Nutting's Flycatcher.

Now onto Empids.. Pacific Slope, Cordilleran, Least and Willow all winter on the Pacific Coast. The clues to this one lie in the bold eye ring, the generally pale underparts, the bill shape and the bright white wing bars. These all point to an adult Least Flycatcher.

Though I am willing to be corrected...
