Yesterday in South Berwick I photographed this flycatcher.  It had an unusual call which is what caught my attention.  The lighting was not the best so not sure if anyone can help.  I am always lost with little birds but I am coming up with either Alder or Acadian ( which i realize is rare, this picture does not show the crest on the head, another pic I have does somewhat).  I don't think it is a least, I have heard those before. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Best

I would say Least but it is hard to see markings besides two bars on wings

I’d say Willow or Alder Flycatcher, which are nearly identical, and even their calls can be confused. Just say “Empidonax”. 😉
