I had one knowledgeable person say that this is a Hutton's Vireo (Vireo huttoni).

If the readership will recall, I thought this was a "vireo" originally ...

What say you?

Hutton’s vireo, identifiable as such at a glance. No flycatcher has a bill like that.

Compare the bill of your Hutton's vireo in this thread to the pics of the bird(Dusky/Hammond's FC) in the other thread that you thought was a vireo...

The confusion species would be Ruby-crowned Kinglet instead of a Flycatcher but agree that this is without doubt Hutton's Vireo. Nice pics!

Thank you.

I don't have much bird knowledge, I just like photographing them

Studying them more carefully, I can see what you mean (as well as the others). Thanks for wording the advice in a friendlier fashion.
