Hi all. This was a tricky one. I know it's a flycatcher, but i honestly don't know where to go from there. Having trouble with file size, so for now theres this screenshot of the video down below. you can tell a lot more from the video so will post on the comments if i can.

I had to compress it a lot so sorry if the quality has turned bad.

A bit difficult given conditions but get feeling of olive-sided flycatcher here. The olive sides aren't clear but I think that's the lighting.

Thanks for your reply @THE_FERN

My initial guess for this bird was Eastern Wood-Pewee. Do you think that is incorrect and if so why is olive sided a better suggestion in your opinion? Thanks again i really appreciate the advice.

No you're right it's a wood-pewee. The tail is too long for olive-sided. Eastern a good choice given the pale vent area

Agreed with Eastern Wood-pewee
