I would really appreciate some help confirming the ID of a grouse I
photographed this afternoon in Kittitas County on the north slope of
Lookout Mountain. I think it's a Sooty Grouse but I'm not certain. The
Merlin app suggested both Sooty and Dusky. The range maps in eBird for
these two species would suggest it's a Sooty. The photos in eBird
weren't strongly suggestive of one or the other for me. Here's a link
to a half dozen photos:

If you have comments on the ID I'd also appreciate learning what the
distinguishing features are.
Thank you for your assistance!
