Some kind of flycatcher? Beautiful bird. Marshland May 31, 2021

It's an Empidonax, I can't really tell which species, but I'll say Alder is most likely in my mind (it's not Willow or Acadian based on location). Do you have any other photos. One that shows the primary extension would be most helpful

unfortunately not, it was a quick shot on a marsh as I was leaving...

I agree with qwerty5, Alder Flycatcher. They should be the default flycatcher in shrubby marsh/wetland habitats in your area.

Yeah, if it was in a marsh it's Alder since neither of the others nest in marshes.
