Sighting

On the west side of Fulton, a couple of blocks south of Line, I saw a flycatcher with a yellow breast. I thought it was some kind of tropical flycatcher. I didn't pull out my binoculars, but I did hear it call. It was a soft peeeew. I listened to my bird tapes just now, and it was too soft to be an ash-throated. If you had seen an ash-throated at all, it would have probably flashed its cinnamon tail at some point. So best guess would be a dusky-capped.
