This picture was taken today at Fort Simcoe State Park in central Washington. Bushy head, brown tail, brown primaries, looks good, and it is the only flycatcher listed for Fort Simcoe in the brochures. Need a confirmation for this lifer please? Thanks.Mac.

I think you are correct on range alone and the light gray on the chest looks good for one too.

Head shape and bill size looks good. The reddish brown on the coverts is characteristic of the Ash-throated Flycatcher. Wingtips reach undertail coverts.
