YUCATAN FLYCATCHER?
Back home I reviewed the morning's shots on my computer screen and as expected each shot from that brush pile showed nothing but black silhouettes, until the last one came up, and I was dumbfounded. It's below:

cf. Yucatan Flycatcher, Myiarchus yucatanensis

This wasn't the bird I was photographing, and what on Earth was it? I couldn't identify it, but published the picture on this page, inviting anyone who thought they might know to write to me. Finally in June, 2009, Sheri Williamson in Arizona wrote:

Based on overall proportions and coloration, this is actually one of the small members of the genus Myiarchus, probably a Yucatán Flycatcher rather than a Dusky-capped based on the relatively pale head and lack of visible rufous or cinnamon.

Yucatan Flycatchers, Myiarchus yucatanensis, are endemic to Mexico's eastern Tabasco state, north and central Yucatan Peninsula plus Cozumel Island, southern   Quintana Roo, northern. Belize and northern Guatemala

If someone else has a different opinion, please write.
