Hi Bryan,
I'm guessing it is going to be tough to tease an absolute positive ID from the
pictures, but for a tree to bark up, it really strikes me as a Hammond's.....
Big headed, gray throat, bill looks short..... Getting some audio
of a call might be the best bet, and often easier than pix. They'll
often call in
mornings, especially when a noisy mixed flock gets near. And they usually
will have a territory you'll easily be able to relocate them in.
I have had two wintering Empidonax here at Utopia in 10 years, both
were Hammond's.
good luck,
Mitch
