Call it another Great Crested Flycatcher. They are beginning to nest now and are paired up. I've seen pairs preparing nest cavities at Greynolds, Crandon Gardens and Cape Florida. Sometimes one bird is lighter/darker than the other one so it can throw off the ID. During courtship and nest preparation, the birds are very vocal, with loud bickering chatter. When the female incubates, they will become much more quiet. If you relocate them, look for a tree cavity that they may be using.
