Flycatcher, Southern Vancouver Island (1 Viewer)

Sorry for the poor quality of the photo.

The head is not extremely peaked, but that could just be the position, sitting squat.

Grayish, with no eye-ring. White bellow. Western wood-pewee?

Could be western then? (in the Pacific North-West).

Here's another flycatcher (and an even worse picture). Seen soon after the first one, but I don't think it's the same one. This one has a distinctly greenish tingue.

I am leaning towards the pewee for those first two. Not sure about the second one.

Here's one last one. This one I suppose is unidentifiable from the photo.

Flycatchers are tough. I ought to hone my hearing, as I think that's the best way to distinguish them.
