Help please, is it a Acadian Flycatcher? [ Point Pelee National Park, Essex, Ontario, Canada] (1 Viewer)

Photos were taken on May 7th. People reports it as Acadian Flycatcher. But I am not sure about it. Can you please help?

Thanks,
Jian

Could be. Empidonaxes are really hard. Did you hear it?

I would suggest it's probably not yellow-bellied (belly doesn't seem yellow, and habitat is not a great match) but that's as far as I'll go.

Primary projection looks too short for Acadian. I would lean towards Alder/Willow – the week eye-ring supports that.

Thanks Narteb! It didn't calls. Attached 2 pics with belly.

Agreed, also note the blackish legs vs blue-grey of Acadian as well as slightly smaller/thicker bill as compared to the longer, "shallower" (bill height) bill of Acadian.
