This looks reasonable for a Willow Flycatcher to me.  Note the fact that the
bird doesn't have a white eye ring and this is a good field mark for Willow
Flycatcher.  The bill is also relatively large, which is also good for
Willow Flycatcher.  

Sincerely,

Tim Janzen

Subject: [obol] Need Empid. ID Help

 

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.
