I'd be the first to admit that I'm not very good when it comes to  
IDing certain Tyrant Flycatchers. Consequently, I took these photos,  
under sub-optimum conditions i.e. bad lighting and high winds, on  
Thursday, February 21st in extreme Collier County and so I'm looking  
for someone to tell me that this bird (all photos are off the same  
bird) is just an ordinary juvenile Western Kingbird and not a  
Cassin's Kingbird. What has me confused is that I cannot discern any  
white along the outer rectrices of the tail but then I can't discern  
any white tip to the tail either. The upperparts don't look dark  
enough for Cassin's and the white chin looks too broad for Cassin's.  
What say others?
