Well, one more Least, and I think that's what I'll call it. Anybody else?

Leaving it up to the experts. Just wanted to say that, wow--don't think I've ever seen their nares (nostrils?) before!

JimBob, I hope it recovered and took off.

I'm calling it a Least, and I'm pretty sure it recovered.

No, that looks more like a Trails-type to me. Any shot of the primary projection?

Sadly, that was the only shot I got, I tried really hard to get a better shot, but guess what? It flew away.

On the first bird, why is it a Least if it doesn't have a complete white eye-ring?

I was a little torn on that. The primary projection does look quite short, but now i'm wondering if the camera angle from the shot is distorting it. After looking again, I'm inclined to say the first could also be a Trails.

That pp looks long to me. Also, the bill looks a bit too substantial for a Trails or least..?
