ID Confirmation
We took a drive over to Buenos Aires NWR outside of Arivaca, AZ this weekend and came across this friendly bird. I believe this to be an Ash-throated Flycatcher but the orange along the bottom of the chest and darker tail feathers are throwing me off and would like confirmation on this ID.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like a Say's Phoebe to me. Excellent image.

Jim,

I am going to agree with Jeff. This is a Say's Phoebe.
