i can't tell if this is a Western kingbird or Cassin's kingbird? perhaps the photos are not enough to determine, admit, not the best shots. photos taken today in southern california. my gut is to go w/ western... any assitance is greatly appreciated.

thank you trev and Charles! what made me think western was the population in this area, seems cassin's would be a rarer find, and also the dark eyeline? will go back to the same spot and hope to find again, will take a closer look if possible. see if i can see white outer tail feathers or not...
