Foothill Elaenia

Wildsumaco lodge, Napo

Same as previous
Often said to have three wingbars, but in fact they have two on the median and lesser coverts while the greater coverts have yellow edging. This picture and the previous are taken within about a minute and meanwhile the bird sang and the scapular feathers changed position and, on this picture, covers the upper wingbar (on the lesser coverts). Generally poorly depicted in fieldguides and best mean of finding and identify it is by sound.
