Bird ID please
Spotted this bird on a fence at the nature center, it was beating something in its beak on the wooden rail. Its back was towards me and I had to shoot through a window. Got another distance photo of it is the grass. I have not seen this bird before and think it is a great crested fly catcher.

This is the second image, it was from a distance.

I believe you are correct

Definitely a Myarchus and very likely Great Crested. Good call.
