Hi Will,
I agree with Hendrik - I believe this is a Hammond's Flycatcher (and I
think I saw this same bird in Fields on Saturday!). I encountered Hammond's
in half a dozen different places in Harney Co. this weekend; my impression
is that they straggle later into late September and early October than
other empids (i.e. Dusky) typically do in Oregon.
Good birding,
Noah
