Re: [cobirds] Flycatcher in Canon City with very long and wide bill, a Traill's??

Nick,
The only pewee I have seen with that large of a bill is a Greater Pewee that I photographed in McAllen, Texas and this bird reminded me of that one but it seemed very unlikely.

SeEtta, the photos in your blog document (in my mind) very nicely an Eastern Wood-Pewee. Very long wings, dull wing-bars, all yellow mandible, and uniform pale underparts. The bill is a pewee bill, too large for any empid, I believe. I have a photo of one from Missouri on-line here: http://www.pbase.com/quetzal/image/145449093.
