Taken over the weekend in Water Valley, MS. Is this bird an Eastern Phoebe? I lightened up the pic because there was too much back light when the pic was taken.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.Posted Image

Yep, GCF. An Eastern Phoebe wouldn't show that extensive, bright yellow on the belly and chest and wouldn't have such a large bill and pronounced crown.
