the flat forehead, lack of eye ring and summer worn appearance makes me think Willow Flycatcher. If so, this is a new bird for me. What do you think? Fern Ridge, Oregon.

According to Nat. Geo. the eye ring in on the Willow is usually absent by mid-summer. The primary projection doesn't look so long to me but that could be an "angle" thing. This bird was feeding a youngster 10 ft. up in a tree by a lake, if that info helps any.

Yeah, judging the projection can be subjective, so it is hard to be definitive on that.
Did you hear it vocalize?
