Earlier this week I asked for help identifying this wee little flycatcher and
the consensus was... it is either a Least or an Acadian. I was originally
leaning towards Acadian, but now I am more confident it is a Least. The folks
who replied with Least also gave the reason for their ID: the eye ring is
bolder than that of an Acadian. Brainard also commented that it looked more
gray than an Acadian. So now I am calling this little bird a Least.
Thanks for all of the replies and tips on identifying flycatchers.
