Hello all, I was looking through some pictures and never got a confirmation on this bird (posted on the whatbird.com forum) so I was hoping for help from some locals. There are two pictures in total and it was seen on Oct. 6th at the FIU Nature Preserve (South campus). Somebody on whatbird.com suggested it was an empid species: "The primary projection seems pretty short, and the wing bars are bold, so I'd go with Empid species. Really the only one possible in Florida however is Least though, and this bird shows very little trace of an eye ring. I'd wait for others to chime in. " I did not hear any vocalizations. Thanks in advance! Joe
