Hi all,
  
  I'm wondering if this might be the same bird that I saw on the NCR trail off of Paper Mill Road a few weeks back...

Maybe the lighting was odd this morning, but I was convinced it was  completely yellow underneath, throat and all. Mike's photos appear to  show a Hammond's Flycatcher and I'm certainly not going to suggest a  two bird theory. Looking at the photos, the bill looks too thin, with a  dusky tip, the back looks olive with a contrasting gray head, and the  primary extension appears long. This is different from my impression  this morning of a brownish-yellow bird with no contrast throughout the  head, back, throat, and upper chest. 
 
I have to admit that I must have been wrong this morning because the photos don't lie.  Sorry for jumping to conclusions.
