Greetings All

This bird, structurally, looks like a Little Blue. The great amount of yellow on the lores is a bit concerning for LBHE though. I'd think Snowies should have some dark on the legs (other than mud) this time of year, but I don't know. In theory, LBHE should have some dusky visible on the primary tips, which is not visible in Wilson's nice shot.

Guy McCaskie's comment is that he'd have trouble calling the bird a Little Blue. He did not say, however, that he'd identify it as a Snowy.

I've put a query out on Frontiers of ID, and we should get a variety of opinions therefrom.

Cheers
