I've been birding for a while, and Flycatchers and Pewees are still EXTREMELY difficult to distinguish for me. I've identified a few of these birds, but I'm not sure how accurate I was. Please let me know your thoughts!

I think that this bird is a Western Wood Pewee since Merlin was picking up their calls around the area. I saw it in Kamloops near a river and meadow area.

I also think this one is a wood pewee, but again, I'm not sure. I saw it in Penticton.

I identified this one as a rough winged swallow, but the bill looks different. I thought it could be a juvenile. I saw it in Penticton.

I think this is a Least Flycatcher, but flycatchers all look extremely similar to me. I saw it in Penticton.

I'm pretty sure this is a rough winged swallow because of the tiny bill. I saw it in Penticton.

If you're confident with your abilities to identify Pewees and Flycatchers, please help!!

Hi TheLoonyBin,
I'll give it a shot--confident or not. lol. Very nice photos all the way around. It would help with identification if you also provided the dates you took the pictures.
------
#1) This one doesn't show -- it's on your local drive.
#2) Western Wood Pewee.
#3) That's a female Purple Martin.
#4) That one (more than likely) is a Willow Flycatcher. The eye ring is subdued and the Wingbars are kind of brownish-white.
#5) Northern Rough-Winged Swallow.
(Any other takers can try ... haha)
Again, excellent photos. Looks like you had a lot of fun!
