I'm a rookie birder. Saw this in my backyard this evening near Salt Lake City, UT. I didn't hear it's call and I missed it flying away. My guess is that it is a juvenile Say's Phoebe. I'd love to hear what more experienced birders think.

No obvious wingbars, so I'd call this an adult Say's.

I agree; he's just puffed up a bit.
