Hi everyone,While the first of Brenda’s photo gives off that unique Hammond’s small- and dark-billed vibe, other photos which are sibject to less foreshortening show a long and paler bill. I believe molt would be wrong for Hammonds at this time of year. I don’t have a tenable name for this bird myself, but I would start the discussion by considering Least. There was also another empid observed at Hamlin Beach near Rochester, NY yesterday that has been eBirded as a Dusky with a sight description. It does not seem to have made it to this list. I am a firm believer that any empid found this late into the season should be reported immediately, with or without a tentative identification. There are a number of possible species, including many from the west, and none of them should be here now and are absolutely worth documenting their movements. Historically, it has taken a team effort to identify and document most vagrant empids, so please utilize this great listserv for what it is designed to do. Best,BrendanOn Tue, Nov 13, 2018 at 11:33 AM Joshua Malbin <joshuamal...@gmail.com> wrote:Passing along third-hand information: Robert Taylor shared this checklist to the New York Birders Facebook group that appears to show a Hammond's Flycatcher seen yesterday at Sunken Meadow State Park in Suffolk County.

Hi everyone,

While the first of Brenda’s photo gives off that unique Hammond’s small-
and dark-billed vibe, other photos which are sibject to less foreshortening
show a long and paler bill. I believe molt would be wrong for Hammonds at
this time of year. I don’t have a tenable name for this bird myself, but I
would start the discussion by considering Least.

There was also another empid observed at Hamlin Beach near Rochester, NY
yesterday that has been eBirded as a Dusky with a sight description. It
does not seem to have made it to this list.

I am a firm believer that any empid found this late into the season should
be reported immediately, with or without a tentative identification. There
are a number of possible species, including many from the west, and none of
them should be here now and are absolutely worth documenting their
movements. Historically, it has taken a team effort to identify and
document most vagrant empids, so please utilize this great listserv for
what it is designed to do.

Best,
