Sex, Age, Comment | Adult male in alternate/breeding plumage. Dark hood is not enough to identify this species since Black-tailed Gnatcatcher also shows this character. Voice and tail pattern are the two most important ways to make a correct id. This species shows all white outer rectrices and here it is also clearly how the outermost rectrice falls well shorter than the next two which are very close to one another in comparison. When the tail is fully grown, this is a valuable identification mark for the species. | ||||||||||||
