Taken yesterday on Oak Creek in central Washington. Based on Kaufman's Field Guide to Advanced Birding, there are three flycatchers that have a dark tip to their lower mandible, the Dusky, the Hammonds and the Gray. This one has a much longer bill than what the Hammonds or Dusky are supposed to have. Based on that and the overall size and shape, my educated guess is for Gray Flycatcher. I will post 4 pics since flycatchers a hard to ID. Any help is always appreciated, Mac.

This one shoes the lower mandible real well.

This pic shows the back fairly well.

That second pic makes me think Olive-sided Flycatcher.

I agree with Olive-sided Flycatcher.
