This guy has been hanging around the cottage, it also has two  tanned coloured wing bars. Peewee? not sure!

With the wing bars it looks like an Eastern Wood-Pewee.

It looks like an Eastern Phoebe to me.  Did it bob its tail?

A Pewee would have an orange lower mandible, and the wingbars would look more white than tan.

I guess it's one of those tricky juveniles, as juvenile Pewees can have an all-black bill and both juvenile Pewees and Phoebes have tan wing bars.
