Hi All,

Thanks,

Seems Andy is sure of himself, and I can be wrong. I thought the lack of rufous in primaries and little pale tip of tail were details pointing to the kingbird rather than the Myiarchus, but as I haven't been to Cuba, so I'd better not argue.
 
Definitely La Sagra's Flycatcher and a very nice pic Andy. Images attached re comparison with Loggerhead Kingbird on right.

Hope this is useful.

This "La Sagra"is easy with brown cap (black in op bird), brown wing panel (absent in op bird), and yellow belly (greyish in op bird).

This being said, I agree I was wrong and accepted your conclusions. :t:
