Similar species include Brown-crested, which we can rule out by pale base of bill on your bird; Panama Flycatcher, which we can rule out by lack of rufous in wings or tail (and possibly by range); and Ash-throated which I can't entirely rule out but believe your bird's chest / belly is a darker yellow and also Ash-throated is a rare migrant so unlikely.

So, I agree with you and KC.
