Okay, I went through my National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds but still wasn't really sure about the ID of this bird which, I'm sure, isn't difficult at all for you bird experts to ID in a sec. Isn't it a flycatcher of some kind?

I meant to add that's a gorgeous shot, too! I haven't seen a Kingbird in a long time.
