I'm thinking this is a Willow flycatcher but just not sure. Taken a couple of days ago out in a southeastern Nebraska tall grass prairie. Thanks!

The empid flycatchers are always a challenge, but I think your ID of Willow Flycatcher is correct.

Thank you Richard, always respect your opimion.

Hi John,
The safe way to do this is to call it Empidonax species, possibly willow flycatcher. The prairie or open habitat points to Empidonax in the willow/alder group..
