Taken from a mile away. I can't get a positive fix on what he is. He does not appear to be like the yellow rumps I see.

Outside of Orlando in piney woods if that helps.

Thanks.

I don't think it is a warbler, look at the size of that beak. It looks like a flycatcher or kingbird to me but I don't know the species. It is a very nice shot, especially from a long distance.

Looks like a Western Kingbird from this angle.

Thanks Dennis and Mikeivan. I have it now narrowed down to Acadian flycatcher, Least flycatcher, and Western kingbird.

Got to learn my little birds but it doesn't seem like we have a lot of them around here.

Looks like a Great-Crested Flycatcher to me ...

Was it calling? GCF's have a distinctive "FWEEP!" call.

That's a heck of a shot from a mile away...what lens were you using?...the quality from that distance is pretty darn good.
