I would also say Least Flycatcher. Beautiful shot, by-the-way.

Thanks for the link to the similar photo. My bird book had a different angle, so I wasn't positive about the Least Flycatcher ID.

I got a new camera lens and I'm having fun with it. Kinda funny how you don't know until you download the pictures what you actually saw :)

I don't know if you scrolled all the way down the page on the "All About Birds" site, but just in case you didn't, down near the bottom they have multiple pictures that you can enlarge. They also usually have an entire page of songs and sounds they make.

I hear you on never knowing what your pics look like until you see them on your computer. To be honest, most of mine end up getting deleted. If I'm lucky if I get a few decent ones. But you're right, it's probably the best way to identify a bird. :o)
