Observation details
Too gray to be Acadian Flycatcher. It did not vocalize. Most likely Traill's Flycatcher because of larger build compared to Least Flycatcher. Tail is also wider than narrow tail of Least Flycatcher. Looks good for Alder Flycatcher to me based on very thin eye ring, but it did not vocalize and these interpretations are open to discussion so it is best left as Traill's. Found in low brushy habitat at edge of woods near culverts on the construction bridge going into the restricted runway construction area. The Least Flycatcher was in the same area. Peer review always appreciated.
