I would recommend not going to iNat first for this. Check out the Merlin ID App from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. It is very widely used by birders of all levels. If you have an audio file you need to upload for ID, check out BirdNET, which is also from Cornell but uses a different algorithm. You should still make an iNat observation if you want, but the amount of birding data Cornell has for its detection algorithms is unparalleled.

Just noting that Merlin is awesome but of course not perfect and does make mistakes, so don’t blindly trust it.
