The bird is simply too small to be a Brown-crested Flycatcher.

It is also (arguably) too small for Ash-throated, but not by much.

We should be able to sort this out. I am admittedly color sight
challenged when it comes to red and green, but I see yellow in the
middle group of flight feathers and my daughter concurs.

Discuss...
