Espanola, Ontario, Canada - is this a juvenile Cedar Waxwing? June 2023 mixed forest (1 Viewer)

Hi again, my Merlin app is telling me I have Cedar Waxwings, but I am not sure if this is one. It seems small, I cannot place it. Many thanks again
for help identifying!!!!

It's not a waxwing, but a flycatcher of some sort

Possibly eastern wood pewee

Peaked, flat head, dull wing bars and medium projection suggest willow flycatcher to me. It could be a wood Pewee although the bars are perhaps too pronounced, primary projection too slight. I don't think we can safely rule out other empids with a photo of this quality

It is probably Alder Flycatcher with the greenish back and very round head. They are also very common in Ontario whereas Willow Flycatcher would be unusual and confined to the immediate boundaries of the Great Lakes. There has never been an ebird report of Willow in Espanola, although they are nearby. It’s difficult to say for certain, as always, but to me it looks more like Alder.

I saw the ebird reports but they seemed thin on the ground in Espanola for some reason
