We observed it from about 20-30 feet distance. Very yellow bird, dark,
contrasting wings with wing bars. Very yellow belly and a yellow throat. The
throat was definitely yellow, not a dingy white.
The painting of the adult Yellow-bellied in Sibley's Guide to Birds is a
perfect likeness of the bird we saw. Other guides, notably Kauffman's Focus
guide, emphasize the yellow throat, rather than the yellow belly. But this bird
had both.
We did not hear the bird make any sort of vocalization. That's the bad news, I
guess.
This is the third Empid I have encountered in the past week. But this bird was
markedly different, and was simply not a little gray bird with white
underparts, as were the other two I have observed this past week.
