Saw this smaller sized flycatcher in the woods near my home in Niagara County, NY.

looks like a recently fledged Least flycatcher, but I'd await confirmation from somebody who has more experience with Empidonax flycatchers.

It's an Eastern Wood Pewee with that primary projection, isn't it?

Thank you for the replies. This bird was flying and feeding in tandem with it before it landed for this frontal pose. I watched them active together for 15 minutes.
Regards,

Jonathan
