Grey Flycatcher? Arizona (1 Viewer)

Hello,
I took this picture during my recent trip to south east Arizona. Is this Gray flycatcher?



Thanks,
Srinivas.

Looks like one from the photos I’ve seen. But I would wait for further verification. It is a very nice photo.

Why not Hammond's? Maybe it's just me but projection seems to long for Gray.

I agree with this. Bill seems largely dark to me too

I agree with hammond's because of the beak.

Any more photos? This looks rather in between Hammond's and Dusky for me. The primary projection is right in that middle ground between the two but the tail seems a bit long for Hammond's to my eye. At first glance there appears to be the "big gap" between the 4th and 5th primary which is a good trait for Hammond's. However, when zoomed in it appears as if there is a another primary tip in there that is not as obvious and would make the wing formula better for Dusky. More photos would be very helpful.

Hello Avery,
Thanks for helping with the id. I tried looking for photos from other angles but couldn't find any. I should have got more pictures from other angles.

Thanks,
Srinivas.
