I snapped this pic this morning and I posted in the daily pics thread and called it an Eastern Phoebe. After I looked at the large pic, it looks more like an Eastern Wood Pewee. Not many around here. Resin?

Eastern Phoebe is right - note the all-dark bill (pale / orangey basal half of lower mandible in EWP), and only faint pale wingbars (more obvious white in EWP).

Thanks, Resin. I don't often see either of these birds. I was scurrying around yesterday getting ready to leave town and didn't have time to dig out my Sibley and look further.
