Observation details

We were divided on whether this was an Eastern Phoebe or a Eastern Wood Pewee. Behavior weighed towards Pewee as it remained high in mid canopy although moving at times (about 30' plus) and did not have tail bobbing. Dark head-crown almost brownish, dark gray back and tail, white breast and belly with smudges of gray below wings, and yellow tinge on lower belly. Wing bars present but weak, and bill appear to be all black which made me decide Eastern Phoebe. Would love comments here!
