Long, dark bill, dusky vest, giss

I don’t think that’s a vest. If you look at photos, some Willow have yellow-gray wash on their chests, giving the impression of a vest from the side. The giss I’m getting from this is saying empid, not pewee, and I’m agreeing with Willow.

I think the bill only looks dark. The wing bars look like Empidonax wing bars, not wood-pewee wing bars, with both bars being wide and with the lower bar being comprised of thickly tipped greater covs whose upper edge does not follow the contour of the feather, but cuts straight across.

Thank you Tony! Great detailed break down
