Yellow-bellied Flycatcher (Empidonax flaviventris), Private Yard, Phoenix, AZ, Maricopa County

This Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was photographed by Richard Ditch on 07 June 2013 in his back yard.

There are only three previous records, the last in 2007. 

Symmetrical eye-ring, round head, bright plumage, large bill, wing contrast, long primary extension, and  primary spacing all indicate Yellow-bellied Flycatcher rather than Pacific-slope.
