We think this is a Willow Flycatcher.

Please help us ID this beautiful bird.

Thanks in advance

It is a flycatcher in the empidonax group.
There is not much of an eye-ring so I would lean towards willow or alder.
The only reliable way to identify these two is through sound.

Too bad we didn't get its song on recording.

Next time.

Thanks,
