I'm going to go with dusky flycatcher. Is there something about that bird that easily gives it away as a flycatcher?

close but not quite. not really from this photo i have another that shows more of the bird do you want to see it?

One more question:

Are there, perhaps, any Alder trees nearby?

Correct!

Finally lol.

So, I have an Alder Flycatcher on one shoulder, and a Least Flycatcher on the other. How do I tell which is which?

one way is the bright white eye ring that the alder does not have

I'm stumped on this one...

Looks like a Flicker.

 

[zulu42]

Thank you. Yes. With your help to start with flicker, it looks to be a Female Red Shafted

 

[dxqcanada]

You could be right ... I do not see the typical red stripe.

Also ID'd a Female Belted Kingfisher today.

 

[ZombiesniperJr]

correct on both. the flicker is a red shafted female.
