Nope - the other bird is not a flycatcher

 

[Larry Lade]

Surely, that second bird is not a Black-backed Woodpecker?

The colors look right, but the tail is too long and I don't think a woodpecker would perch like that, but ....

 

[prairiemerlin]

No, it is not a Black-backed Woodpecker. I'll tell you it's a passerine. It is noticeably smaller than the kingbird - Cassin's Kingbirds are usually about nine inches long. The other bird appears to be about two-thirds that size. Guess away...

 

[Larry Lade]

Looks like everyone else has "given up" on this one!

Is it one of the vireos?
