I agree with Acadian Flycatcher. It has a fairly prominent eye-ring, which eliminates Willow and Alder.
Least can be eliminated because your bird is more green, as opposed to the drabber Least. The size of the bill also eliminates Least.
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher is also much more similar to a Least in size, but closer to Acadian in plumage. A Yellow-bellied Flycatcher would have at least some yellow on the breast, as well as on the throat.
