hi all ... this morning I "thought" I was photographing a Western
Wood-Pewee until I looked at the images ... and what I saw was a hint
of an eye-ring and prominent wing bars ... the pix were taken with a
simple "superzoom" camera on an overcast day (but no drizzle) through
double-paned picture window, so while the coloration is on the yellow
side, that could just be camera/window/lighting ... the bird was in
the yard for only a few minutes but while here he hung out in the
trees (flowering cherry and ornamental plum), something our former
resident Western Wood-Pewee did not do ... the Pewee always hung out
on top of something ...

here's the only 2 images when he was in the ornamental plum ... the
leaves of the plum are a dark purple-red ...

I'd love to have opinions, as any flycatcher other than the Western
Wood-Pewee would be a new yard bird !!! ... I'm thinking
Pacific-slope Flycatcher ???
