What Bird Is That Forum

I couldn't let gtsacks have all the flycatcher fun this week. Hoping for some help with this one as I've looked at numerous photos of different types of flycatchers in Colorado and don't feel confident matching it to any. Saw it today in Avon, CO. Thanks!

I have no experience with them at all but with the teardrop shaped eyering & yellowish overall color I 'd say Western.

I was feeling Western as well. But pictures of Ash-Throated and Hammond's look similar too. Although they seem to have less yellow. Alder looks very similar as well but seems unlikely it'd be this far west.

Agree with this although I haven't seen one either. it is the most likely option for the location and the closest look alike, Yellow-bellied, would be out of range.
