The belly/under tail is also definitely pinkish red.  It is best seen in
flight.  I think it was this that led to the initial incorrect ID of Say's
Phoebe, which has a salmon-colored belly.

Just do a Google search and you can review several images of female
Vermillion Flycatchers. The Lake park bird is consistent with this species.
The size is right as well. Notice the bill size and shape compared to
Phoebe. The bird also has light streaking on the breast and a short dark
tail.

There is no doubt this is a Vermillion Flycatcher. But, discussion is always
good.
