I'd have to say Great-crested Flycatcher. Not enough contrast between the throat and crest/nape. The bill on Brown-crested Flycatchers are about 20% bigger and the amount of flesh observed at the base of the lower mandible varies although still more conspicous in GCF's. I was at Carysfort Circle last Saturday and saw/heard a GCF in the area. Not to mention that GCF's are abundant in the area and are found year-round. So far, BCF's are known to only winter in South FL and they may have already moved on. Let's see what others think.

Cheers,
RJ
