I don’t know why, but I can’t find this bird when I search common birds in my area. I watched him swoop down for bugs for a few minutes then was off!
After looking up Say’s phoebes, the colors look spot on! Especially the cinnamon breast. The source I looked at mentioned that at times it appears these birds have crests (which is actually just them raising their feathers in this case?) and this guy looked like he had a little crest on his head. The described behavior lines up with what I was observing too. I think this may be the one!
It really does look like a kingbird, but the western kingbirds that would be in my area are shown with a yellow breast. I don’t know what to think!
Forgot to add, the board it’s perched next to measures 1.5x8.5 inches
