I got this photo at Lake Isabel, Colorado in May. I'm 90% sure it is a Cordilleran, but I have a hard time ID'ing the flycatchers.

Got anyone who will testify for me?

I think on location you can be pretty confident it's Cordilleran rather than Pacific Slope. I'd hesitate to say 100% but probably at least 99% anyway.

I agree- almost certainly Cordilleran based on date/location.

And the throat and breast being a similar yellowish color, the moderately large bill with a pale lower mandible, and the eye ring broader behind the eye than in front of it would all suggest a Cordilleran Flycatcher rather than any other Empidonax likely to be found in the area.
