Participant Photo: What Flycatcher is this?
Additional images:
This is Mila Kedz again with a mystery flycatcher. Looks like an olive sided flycatcher to me, but knowing how rare they are I’m uncertain. Please help with identification

It does look like an Olive-sided. How rare are they in your area?
The olive sided flycatchers are really rare in our area…Though it looks like it and was in a suitable habitat. Despite this an Ebirder reached out to me and said it was just an Eastern Wood-pewee.
Olive Sided Flycatchers are very rare in Tennessee. But the habitat and behavior of the bird does match up with an olive-sided flycatcher. An Ebirder told me that it is an Eastern Wood-Pewee but I’m not certain.
I had an Eastern Wood-Pewee in my yard before and our bird does look like it.
