Beautiful shot Don. Me thinks Kingbird. I say this based on the apparent size. Flycatchers are small similar to warblers in size. Have a glimpse below.

Thank you.
I believe you are correct An image search suggests Eastern Kingbird !
D7200 + Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6E AF-S VR @ 500mm hand held, ISO 1600, wide open at 1/125s. 33% cropped (8/24MP).
The VR of this lens is fantastic: 1/125s hand held at 500mm (= 750mm ln a DX sensor).

I put a bunch of images in the D500 thread, which were mostly of a whistling kite. These are the other images I took that same day with the 200-500. All hand-held and VR was off.

Pretty sure I haven't posted this one yet... this shot demonstrates the level of detail the 200-500 captures at about 30 meters. Of course, the D800 isn't too shabby at capturing detail itself... but this is a pretty tight crop. BTW, these claws belong to an adult, male Kangaroo.
...that's a cute shot!
