Like all my posts from today.... This bird was seen in the forest of Kent, CT.  To me, it's face looks like a Northern Flicker.... but the research I've done didn't show juveniles looking like this. 

 

Anyone know what it is??  I probably have seen them a bunch of times (hope not!) and just can't recognize it.

To me it looks like an immature Great-crested Flycatcher.

Heres another shot...  I thought it's face looked flicker-ish.

Great crested flycatcher.

The yellow belly is speaking to me. "Great Crested Flycatcher, juvenile..."
