Observation details
I'm not convinced this wasn't just a late Least Flycatcher; however, Merlin repeatedly insisted it was a Gray Flycatcher. The bill seems too short and broad to me (with a dark lower mandible), and while the bird did flick its tail, it wasn't the deep, slower bob typical of GRFL. I spent the better part of my visit to Park Lake trying to track down this bird, but it was very good at disappearing for extended periods of time, and I never managed a great look at it in the field.
