I took a bunch of photos of the Inwood empid this morning, and uploaded a selection to https://edgaillard.smugmug.com/Bird-ID/Inwood-empid . I believe one should be able to download the original size of any of the photos.
I didn't have time this evening to do a thorough job of culling, so there's a lot of redundancy there; sorry. I'm also not sure if any of these photos show anything earlier photos didn't. The bird was quite active, staying very low--I'd say never more then three feet off the ground, and usually lower. It pumped its tail a lot. I was surprised by how pale the underparts were;, I was expecting more yellow, but I don't know too much about Fall empids.
