I need help to identify this bird - I believe it might be one of the Flycatchers.

As always, any help will be most welcome and appreciated.

Looks like an Eastern Phoebe.

The contrast between head and breast/belly is a salient feature of the Eastern Phoebe.
Other flycatchers show less contrast but the lighting can diminish that contrast especially
when shooting into the light.
