Greetings All:
I would go so far as to go with Cordilleran/Pacific-slope Flycatcher -
there is a bit of a 'tip' to the posterior portion of the eyering, the
bill is 'relatively' long and 'relatively' narrow whereas
Yellow-bellied trends towards 'relatively' short and 'relatively'
wide, there is a fair amount of paling to the center of the yellow in
the belly - Yellow-bellied tends to be pretty solid yellow.
As regards Cordilleran vs. Pacific-slope, this early in the season I
would go with the default migrant ... which is Cordilleran.
Pacific-slope Flycatchers are being documented in Texas but they seem
to be found during passage later in the fall.
Regards to all; Anthony Hewetson

Not sure which kind of flycatcher this little bird was. It was in my tree
around 11:30 this morning. Anybody know what it is? Thank you. -Holly
