Based on the bill size and shape, and the tail feathers as shown in Mary
Beth's link I would say that the bird at Galveston TAMUG that I took
these photos of this spring(mid April) is a Tropical Kingbird

Hi, all!
There's a discussion on ID Frontiers about a mystery T/C Kingbird that
showed up in Wisconsin, and Dave Irons shared a very useful website
comparing Western, Tropical, and Couch's Kingbirds that I thought Texbirders
might find interesting and useful. Thanks, Dave!
