A very complete description of the bird and similar birds were eliminated.

Darren Clark--Accept

The report is very well-written and eliminates all other species. It also helps that other observers saw the bird the next day, which I'm not sure is clear in the report.

Dave Trochlell--Accept

I was convinced by the masterful and complete description.

Good report.

Excellent description of all key field marks. Tail wagging and open country flycatching behavior noted also important in confirming this one.
