Hi Kay,
Your bird looks good for a Willow Flycatcher to me - overall coloration,
yellowish wash on breast sides, rather short primary extension and lack of a
distinct eyering all support the ID. Also, the lower mandible appears to be
pale.
Nice pictures!
Hendrik

I saw a flycatcher today that I’d like some help in pinning down an ID of.
Unfortunately, it was completely silent. There are three pictures here:

Unfortunately, the unfocused shot is the only one I got of the front.
(Auto-focus is nice, but . . .) I’ve included it because it does give a fair
impression of the color of the breast and belly. This was taken near Canby,
not too far from the Willamette River. Willow Flycatchers regularly breed in
this area . . . Thanks for your help. Kay CarterCanby, Oregon
