Bob & Ruth Friedrichs were kind enough to forward a couple photos to
me. They are mostly from below and the light is not ideal but I think
the bird in their photos is a Gray Kingbird! Gray Kingbirds have
somewhat thick bills and this bird in their photos has that plus a
clear white breast and underparts. It is hard for me to tell the
exact color of the upperparts but they look grayish (not brownish) and
there are signs of a darker mask. All this would seem to favor Gray
Kingbird, which is still an incredibly great find for the Texas coast.
I hope folks are able to follow up.
