Eastern Wood-Pewee

EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE
Contopus virens5-6"
Cornell Link
Eastern Wood-Pewees are virtually indestinguishable from their Western Wood cousins. Their song and range are really the only big difference. Ther are to be distinguished from other pewees fly catchers by their two white wing bands, and the lack of a distinguishable eye ring.

Alright.... this is my best shot at categorizing this little guy. It very strongly fits both the Audubon guide's picture and description as well as matches the typical habitat and range. However, I am open to correction if anyone would like to make it.
