I have a feeling I may have asked one of these before, but the answer is lost to history... this time I'm going through to populate my older ebird records!

Any ideas on either of these? I have plenty more photos of #1 if that helps. Both taken in Junction, TX in May 2016.

#1 is a Myiarchus flycatcher, possibly Ash-throated? Could you post other photos of it?

I’m thinking with those long primaries and contrasty White tertial edges, this might be a Great Crested Flycatcher.
