Bird ID Please
I'm stumped. Took this on the upper coast of Texas. Galveston Island or High Island in April.

great crested flycatcher. The pinksh gray at base of bill is suggested by Sibley as indicative of a juvenile.

I alway like to check for confirmatory fragments of the Great Crested Fly adhering to the beak as testament to a recent meal. Alas, none are to be seen in this image.
