I photographed this one on the road to Wooley Lagoon, pretty near the Teller Road turnoff. I suspect Charlie IDed it for me at the time, but if so, I've forgotten. It looks pretty thrushish, but the large white I ring and streaks rather than spots don't seem to fit anything very well. Unfortunately, this is the only shot I got of it.

Not sue Dennis, but looks to me like an American Pipit.

Hi Dennis,
It's an American Pipit. There were several active near Wooley Lagoon Road this year, probably near the same area you should have seen the Northern Wheatears. Our part of the group photographed them also.

Thanks Kurt and Ken. I should have figured that one out.
