169A2078-Tyrannidae sp by Patrick Covello, on Flickr
This bird was seen in 30 feet high bushes on the West Vancouver Seawalk. I didn't hear it vocalize. It looks to me that it is a Western Wood Pewee, but I know there are other very similar species, including the Willow Flycatcher.
In support of the Western Wood Pewee ID, I see a bit of a crest, gray back and head, and a tendency to make short flights and return to the same perch.
On the other hand, there seem to be a hint of yellow in its flanks.
What do you think?
