- Comments: "seen midway up the switchback trail.  a green-backed, dark-winged flycatcher with ultra-contrasty wing bars. yellow belly with dirty streaking.  clean, yellow throat, and complete eye ring.   the two photos are lit very differently and almost appear to be two different birds. The actual bird was somewhere in between in tonality. i didn't hear it vocalize, but another birder heard it from the top of the switchback at about the same time."
