I was watching Yellow-rumped Warblers in a tree when a flycatcher flew in. I got several shots before it flew away, thinking it was a Least given the eye-ring. Using my phone, I took pics off the back display on the camera and ran them through Merlin, which quickly called it a Yellow-bellied. Surprised, I played the calls of the YBFL and the bird flew right in. This convinced me it was actually a YBFL. However, an outstanding birder said the bill was too big and the empid was likely an Acadian. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
