Speaking of flycatchers, I found this one about a week ago at Buford park.  After spending half an hour searching the Internet, I tentatively concluded it was a Gray, in part because it periodically bobbed its tail downward.  I would appreciate correction or confirmation.

Thanks.

Flat head, long flat bill, and even a black tip to the bill that's barely visible. Looks like a solid Gray Flycatcher, great find Tye.
