I have some photos of a bird I saw yesterday that I can't ID for certain. I
believe it is either a pewee or a phoebe. I just caught a glimpse of the
bird as it flew into the tree and I just got a sense of a very plain back --
no distinct wing bars. The bill color is a little hard to determine but it
looks pretty dark which would perhaps rule out pewee. The bird was preening
the entire time I observed it and it did not bob its tail like a phoebe. It
also was pretty light in color and I think of a phoebe and pewee as being
darker. Several birding friends are divided between phoebe and pewee. If
anyone would like to take a look, I can send 4 photos.
Thanks for any help!
