I am looking for opinions on this one. I think it's a Buff-breasted Flycatcher. What do you think?
Nikon D90 with Nikon 400mm ED f/5.6 MF lens.

Is this a Buff-breasted Flycatcher?
Looks like a female Bluebird...probably Eastern.
Could be but the shape of the head and the small 'notch' at the end of the tail suggest Buff-breasted Flycatcher. Maybe?

Ditto to female Eastern Bluebird.
Buff-breasted Flycatcher is a lot smaller (only a quarter of a bluebird's weight!), and has a grey (not blue-tinged) back and two white wingbars.

OK, I'm convinced......I guess. :-) Thanks
Seems Buff-breasted Flycatcher is also a mega-rarity in Texas too, only a few records from the Davis Mts: http://www.birdspix.com/ARCHIVE%20SPECIES%20PAGES/Buff-breasted%20Flycatcher.html ;-)
