I feel slightly obligated to chime in at this point, as Cameron Carver
is away at the moment: beware the Brewster County eBird lists. Reports
from this region from people who are not familiar with what is
expected... tend to be a bit of a stretch. Make sure trip lists that
included Greater Pewee didn't also include Tufted Titmouse and/or
Juniper Titmouse - those would be big red flags.
Size relative to Vermilion Flycatcher has not ruled out Western
Wood-Pewee; let the bird and field notes do the talking. The photos
(and other birders, so far) haven't given us the full story, and you
were quite likely to bump into other Western Wood-Pewees during your
time there; those need to be ruled out. The photos look classic
Western to me.
My two cents.
Happy trails,
