I have a couple of little flycatchers in my backyard but not positive which one. They move so incredibly fast, by the time I get my binoculars up, it has moved again. I watched them (or it) for more than an hour today, trying to get a fix.

My best guess is a least flycatcher, but I'm willing to entertain other possibilities. I didn't hear any kind of distinctive song, just some "wick whick" call notes. I've been listening to the various calls found online and I'm just not sure.

Sure is a cute little guy.

You're in the Empid nightmare zone. Odds are in favor of a Least Flycatcher. Others that are here now are Willow and Alder, but without the song...best of luck. Your Empid is probably going to stay an unsub...about 95% of mine are.

Thanks, Perry and jpeter.

Willow and Alder were my other candidates. The size seemed to fit the least, but can't be sure. Thanks for trying.
