Nutting's Flycatcher (Myiarchus nuttingi), Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge, Mohave County

This Nutting's Flycatcher was found and photographed by Eric Hough on 23 June 2015

Casual in Arizona (only 2 accepted records away from the Bill Williams River), since at least 2011 a small population with 5+ individuals reported in most years, has been found in the Bill Williams River NWR and breeding was confirmed at this individuals location in 2013.

Found by its diagnostic "wheep" call (recordings here and here). ID points visible in these photographs include the short, stout bill; bright yellow belly; rufous extending to the tail tip; and "puffy" throat.
