Flycatcher ID Central Texas

I need help with this id...Great Crested or Ash-throated Flycatcher? The bill looks small to me so it would be an Ash-throated. Right? I couldn't get a good angle on the tail to verify.
Thanks for your input.

It looks too bright to be an Ash-throated, and the bill appears to be turned toward the camera, making it appear shorter.

I would say Great Crested also, for the same reasons as Microtus.
