MDOspreyer's, 
 
I would encourage people to look for this Myiarchus Flycatcher even though it was identified as a Great Crested.  I don't believe that a Great Crested has been photographed this late in the mid-atlantic.  The records are overwhelmingly in favor of Ash-throated.  Sometimes Ash-throats can look very bright and can be confusing.  Unfortunately, I am busy all week or I would go myself.
