Mike Kilburn Guest Re: Sooty Flycatcher ?? « Reply #2 on: Oct 10th, 2003, 9:37am » Quote Modify Remove Hi Kwan   Very nice picture, but I think it is a Brown Flycatcher.   Why?   The angle of you photo is very helpful in showing the underside of the bill is yellow and rather broad at the base.     (you may know that the scientific name of Brown Flycatcher - latirostris - means "broad bill"!)   Also the sides of the breast are white with only faint streaks, not much darker or(occasionally with broad streaks) as they should be on Sooty Flycatcher.   Cheers     Mike Logged kwan BBS Member BBS God     Gender: Posts: 203 Re: Sooty Flycatcher 烏鶲 « Reply #3 on: Oct 10th, 2003, 1:28pm » Quote Modify Hi Mike,   Another image which explain why I consider as a Sooty Flycatcher.   The tiny white spots on the upper part of the body including head. The wing bar is tinted golden color. The overall length of the wing. And overall plumage is genrally darker.   Please advise your thoughts and it will be very useful.   tks, nick http://a2.cpimg.com/image/16/AE/24480022-7880-01480150-.jpg Tai Po Kau 大埔滘 09/10/2003 Digiscoping « Last Edit: Oct 10th, 2003, 9:31pm by Forrest FONG » Logged kwan Apache Lau+Joanna Lam Committee Member BBS Senior Member     Posts: 84 Re: Sooty Flycatcher 烏鶲 « Reply #4 on: Oct 10th, 2003, 2:55pm » Quote Modify Hi all,   Let me try to make one additional ID of this is a Sooty la !!!!
