Odds are that a pure “Cordilleran" exists only in fiction.
I have heard a western flycatcher doing the proper sounds exactly once in
Oregon, in lower Burnt River Canyon, Baker Co. during the atlas project twenty
years ago. Therefore I list it, but it’s a “species” I’d happily give up.

For all those that look for a pure Cordilleran Flycatcher in Oregon, there is
a good discussion on what I (having searched eastern Oregon) and I think many
of the Oregon birding community has already concluded going on at ID
Frontiers, a spill over from a few Western Flycatchers on the east coast
currently..see New York.
Odds are we are not adding a pure Cordilleran to our Oregon list.
