Can you identify this??

lower photo of a Gray Catbird that I will show also. Nice shooting Bill. As for the first one, Jim Miller thought it was possibly an Eastern Phoebe. That family of flycatchers is still a little confusing to me, so I am not going to stick my neck out. What say?? Can anyone have an answer??
