Great crested flycatcher?? South Carolina

I captured this photo this morning but when it comes to ID'ing this is where I struggle. I'm very new to photographing birds and I apologise that the picture doesn't show more detail but the little fellow only gave me one chance to take the shot. Does this look like it might be a great crested flycatcher? Thanks for your help.

Chris

You're correct, looks a juvenile one

Thank you for the quick reply. Maybe I am getting better at the ID'ing.
