Observation details

First noticed as a brighter lump within a cluster of bare branches. Upon viewing, was a large flycatcher facing away from me showing bright white feathers on either side of the rump on an otherwise darkly plumaged grey bird which was enough to identify. After a bit, turned around to face me where I got a great view of the ‘vested’ breast; white in the center bordered by darker grey with some faint streaked appearance. Dark head, large and dark bill, and slightly peaked shape all noted. Viewed at leisure as it stretched and preened. Seen in a large dead tree within the small cemetery. Photos to come shortly
