Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

This flycatcher was seen in a hedgerow bordering pine forest on a mountainside in central British Columbia. There were some openings of deciduous habitat nearby. I did not hear a call, so I suppose this will be next to impossible to id.
Options?:
1) Least Flycatcher
2) Hammond's Flycatcher
3) Pacific-slope Flycatcher
4) Dusky Flycatcher
