There usually isn't more that one aircraft at say your 11 o'clock two
miles.


The pilots say things like "See traffic at 12 o'clock, but can't tell
if it's a regional carrier or not. Please advise." This sounds like the
pilot is expecting to be able to recognize the plane.

He probably can't tell if it is a regional jet or a corporate jet. You'd be
amazed what you can see from two miles in the air.
