Gnatcatcher(?)

Springdale, Utah (Zion NP)

Gnatcatcher, vireo, or warbler (?). Only got this one shot and I'm undecided, but I do agree with Pierre & Tom, the bill isn't like most vireos.
Mostly gray on top; tan-to-white underneath, narrow white eye ring; narrow black pointed bill. In this dead tree that was on the edge of the Virgin River.

Nice shot, the bill doesn't look right for a Vireo.

have a closer look to the beak, vireo is much strong and thick, never saw a gray one!
