I concur, Marijn. Mike Lu also asked me if this bird flew out and returned to its perch, which is characteristic of a GSFC. It did, several times. Thanks, another lifer for me then...8-)

See my comment at the next pic. A flycatcher's bill is typically broad but flat, like in this bird. Also note the friendly, 'open' face expression, caused by the large dark eye, which is also quite typical for flycatchers in my opinion.
