Hello Everyone,
I would need help identifying a small flycatcher I saw this afternoon in Pleasanton. It was first in a tree with dozens of yellow-rumped warblers, a Downy woodpecker, and an Anna Hummingbird. Further out in a field, two Say's Phoebes were catching insects. This little bird flew and fortunately landed on a fence where I could approach to take photos. When I got too close he flew on a different tree and  then I lost sight of it. I had never seen a bird like that before. I have listed it under flycatcher sp. (Tyrannidae sp.)  in my ebird listing and provided lots of photos. It was a tiny bird, with some yellow under the belly (which is hard to see on the photos). I looked at lots of photos of Vermilion Flycatchers and it does look like one but it could be something different that I am not familiar with. Thank you for your help,
Isabelle
