hi garret,
on large primary projection and lack of eye ring i'd say it is a western wood-pewee.

Garrett!
Agree with Lou.
Western W P. (to be causious, on range, Eastern Wood P W quite similar, with records in the West).
Long- winged, long primary projection (exclude Empidonax), no obvious pale eye-ring, dark tip to lower mandible (exclude Willow) and pointed wing tip, nicely viewed in your flight shot (exclude Empidonax), to mention a few characters.
