- Empidonax alnorum
Identification
5-6" (13-15 cm). Slightly smaller than a House Sparrow. Dull gray-green above, whitish below, with 2 dull white wing bars and narrow white eye ring (often not noticeable). This is another very difficult to distinguish Empinodax, and is best distinguished from similar species by voice, breeding habitat, and nest.
