Hi, all.

I saw this flycatcher in the La Sal mountains, outside Moab, Utah a few days ago. I didn't hear a song, and the photos are not great because they are cropped from a long zoom. Does anyone know what it is?

Thanks for any help!

Olive-sided?

Olive-sided was my first thought, too. Can Western Wood-pewee show such an extensive and dark "vest" on the underparts?

Shape is more like a pewee, with that long tail. Olive-sided also looks more contrasty.

I go with pewee. Looks too "stubby" for olive-sided.

Thanks, everyone! I didn't even think 'Wood-Pewee'. I was thinking it was a less contrasty Olive-sided, but now I'm pretty sure he's the Pewee.
