Flycatcher from the gallery and Peru: bran-colored or rufescent? (1 Viewer)

at the time of upload there was no doubt, this was Bran-colored. However, with recent split, I am trying to figure out what it is: Bran-colored of whatever subspecies, or Rufescent Flycatcher? It seems to be on the wrong side of the Andes, but the field guide states something about Austral migrants which means I am not sure the division by geography is strict.

thanks

I may have solved it. Birds of the world states that Rufescent is considered a non-migratory species and there might be too much streaks on the breast of this bird to be that one. I would still like confirmation of someone who know more.
