Any ideas which flycatcher this might be?

Interesting bird. Where was this in the Eastern US? It would be great if you could post the actual photos here.

Looks pretty solid for yellow-bellied flycatcher

These are not my photos but a friends. Indiana. So more than likely one of the eastern empi's... yellow-bellied, least, acadian, willow, alder. In this area yellow bellied & least tend to be the later migrants.

Thanks. That was my initial thought as well.

I am now uncertain. It's hard to rule out least here. The pale throat especially leady away from YBFL. Will be interested to hear what others have to say.

Least for me. The throat, as HeadWest notes, is too white for Yellow-Bellied.
