Flycatcher Vancouver (1 Viewer)

These photos were taken in Stanley Park on 24th June. The exact location wad a shrubby marshy area on the west side of the Lost Lagoon. I think it is a flycatcher, but didn't seem to match anything in my field guide. Any help in identifying much appreciated

I think it is a Western Flycatcher (formerly named pacific-slope flycatcher). But I don't rule out Alder or Willow.

It does not look like Western Flycatcher, which is very yellow and has a distinct eye ring most pronounced around the tear ducts. Looks more like Trail’s (Willow/alder).

Thanks for that. At time I thought it was a willow flycatcher, but began to question that ID when I got home. Willow seems most likely, but difficult to be certain.

Willow for me. of willow/alder, willow is the only one present there. Alder is very rare, so I would feel confident writing it as Willow. But if you must be certain you'll have to hear the bird.
