    It looks like some sort of Fly catcher. But which one. where abouts was it shot. It might help narrow it down a little headscratch.gif

    Can't help you with the ID Wade but the least I can do is to congratulate you with this outstanding pic. Well done.

    Looks like a Swamp Flycatcher. A little bit more of a white belly than an Usher's which is slightly more brown.


    Well done for narrowing down to Flycatcher.

    Try Ash-throated or Northern Beardless
    Unfortunately I cannot see the wing markings on your shot, and there are hundreds of choices on the MangoVerde site

    Good luck searching... beautiful shot

    thanks guys, i didn't get a good look at the wings so I will just call it some kind of flycatcher for now.
