Observation details

First heard the repeated "whit" notes & thought they sounded like a possible Least Flycatcher, so I started recording the call notes as I tried to locate the bird. Eventually it flew more into the open into one the pecan trees in the front yard & I got a brief but good look at the bird. A few minutes later I saw it again & watched it for a short time in the open as it flitted from branch to branch. It was a very small flycatcher with a small pale bill. It had a prominent white eye-ring, back was grayish with hint of olive, wings darker with two white wingbars, underparts mostly white looking. Primaries did not extend as far as on an Acadian, & notes not that of a Willow in my opinion & bill too small for a Willow Flycatcher. Will add a poor recording of the whit notes & very poor photos of bird mostly hidden by leaves or branches that I took later in morning when Terry Schiefer came to look at the bird.
