I don't know the little ones that well but it looks like it could be a Flycatcher of some sort. I'm sure someone will be along soon to correct me.

Is it missing its lower bill?

Thanks Mike. No bill missing. Don't know what I did in post, but he now has it back

This bird was not small. It was about the size of Mockingbird, plus its beak has the down turned tip, so I don't think it is an alder flycatcher.


Thanks

Very nice Birdie. I think it's a kingbird of some type, but that's just a weak guess because I didn't see anything really close to your bird ~ Ron

Great Crested Flycatcher. Fairly common across the Eastern U.S., especially in the southeast.

Great-crested makes the most sense to me too, but not a clear match with my Sibley's. Their crest is not always evident. Ash-throated Flycatcher might be an outside possibility. Nice picture, Birdie.

From Sibleys "all Mylarchus flycatchers lean forward and bob their heads up and down when agitated"
I thought kingbird but that pale beak is not right.

If I'd thought it was an ash-throated flycatcher, I would have said so.

An even more rare variety; the "One-Legged Great Crested Flycatcher". Sorry, couldn't resist, an excellent shot with detail and composition... Mike

Looks like a great crested flycatcher to me. Makes a rather distinctive raucous call. Beautiful birds.

Thanks everyone for helping with the ID. Like some, I could not find an exact match to some of the descriptions.
