Re: Hoary Redpoll Report / Pocatello

I should have posted it here as well as Facebook! Earlier this week it was on the Gibson Jack trail in south Pocatello with a flock of Common Redpolls. It looks like a solid Hoary from the photos. A couple local birders spotted it! I am looking around today a little and maybe this weekend without high expectations, but fingers crossed it likes the creek along the trail where it was first seen. 
Thank you Cliff for sharing,

Re: ID Help

In addition to other points already made your photo shows the
rufous edged rump and crown feathers and orangish eyebrow typical
of Rufous Hummingbird.

Thanks Heidi! I appreciate your help.

I tried to figure out the ID by comparing various online photos of
immature/female Rufous Hummingbirds, but it seemed like all of
those photos showed a concentrated spot of spangles in the center
of the throat. The bird in my photo doesn’t have that spot, and
that’s why I wasn’t sure about the ID.
