- Comments: "Perched on snag on Lookout, slope above Wellhouse drive between containers & picnic area. Medium-sized flycatcher, chunky, heavily-vested. Fluffy white wing patches highly visible as it preened, giving it an almost white-backed appearance. Did its part by catching & eating a spotted lantern fly.
