I think this is a Western Wood Pewee. I saw it in SE Arizona. Any help is appreciated!

I'd say a Myiarchus-type Flycatcher, though I can't differentiate between Dusky-capped and Ash-throated.

The belly and wing coverts are too yellow for Pewee.

The undertail coverts would also have dark smudges if it were a Pewee. I would lean towards Dusky-capped, based on the short bill, apparent dark auriculars, and lack of rusty visible in the tail, but with the angle and lighting I don't know if any of those could be considered diagnostic.

Definitely a Myiarchus, but I don't think I would go any further than that without another picture. Happen to have any more shots of this guy?
