I second that Hammond's identification. It is also the most likely by range
of the various options.

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
