This bird really made me think of a Say's Phoebe. It sounded and acted like one flying from shrub top to yucca stalk and swooping for insects. BUT it had a really short tail and the color of the belly didn't seem as rufous - maybe more buff. When it flew it seemed to have almost a yellow cast to the underside of the tail. It seemed smaller than a Say's Phoebe to me. I've seen lots of Say's Phoebes and will be a little amused with myself if that is what this is.
I have 4 pictures. Thanks for looking and for your help.
