I snapped these Flycatchers at Campbell Park this morning - I suspect they're Leadens, though they're a bit glossier than some of the Leaden's I've shot in the past. The McComas Taylor & Nicolas Day guide seems to have nearly identical descriptions for both species, with the main differentiator being that Leadens are duller. Does anyone have any other tips for distinguishing between these two very similar birds?
