Northern Caribbean Costa Rica Flycatcher (1 Viewer)

This bird was seen at Laguna del Lagarto, in Costa Rica in May of 2019. Obviously a Flycatcher of some type, but I am having a hard time pinning it down. A fledgling?? After resizing the bird has been distorted. Not as long and skinny as the pictures show.

Why isn't it a Tropical Kingbird?

Looks like Grey-capped Flycatcher. Tropical King bird is more grey/green on the back and has darker eyes

That's what I thought, although it's lacking the grey cap.... So juvenile?

Gray-capped Flycatcher for me.

Thank you for your thoughts. I have seen and photographed many Tropical Kingbirds in many different locals, including this one and I really did not think it was a TK. Grey-capped FC it is.
