Western Wood-Pewee or Townsend's Solitaire visited today

[imperialbirders]

Our backyard wood was visited by a Western Wood-Pewee or Townsend's Solitaire this afternoon. Watching it catch bugs in mid air is always a treat so I think it is a Pewee. Here is my photo so please let me know the true id.

Townsends Solitaire. White eyering is a clue. Nice shot.

Great bird for the yard, Mike.

Pewees shouldn't be too far behind!
