That is quite a sighting! Hope it sticks around for you or others to get a p=
hoto and/or recording. Is a detailed description, like yours, enough for it t=
o be confirmed or does this species require more?

<div>A convincing Acadian Flycatcher was along the roadside of Gull Rock Road about 10am. I glimpsed it from the rear first, saw striking greenish colour from head down the back, and thought I had a Yellow-bellied. Then it turned and I could see whitish throat
and light malar, white extending down mid- breast to the belly and very pale yellowish breast sides and flanks. It was a big bird, with long tail and wing extension. The bill, which was substantial, had a conspicuous yellowish- orange lower mandible. </div>
