The western wood-pewee and eastern wood-pewee were at one time considered the same species. Then they were divided into two species. I happened to be in Manizales, Colombia where the two ranges overlap and I saw an eastern wood-pewee and arguably a western wood-pewee, but the two species are very difficult to tell apart, except by vocalizations, and no one has confirmed my
previous sighting as a western wood-pewee. I was recently in southeastern Arizona in Rock Corral Canyon in the Tumacacori Mountains when I definitely saw a western wood-pewee. So I am counting this more recent bird as my lifer.
