Flycatchers: Pacific-slope, Hammond’s, Olive-sided

Pacific-slope Flycatcher: Notice slender appearance, asymmetical eye-ring

Pacific-slope Flycatcher: Notice slender appearance, asymmetical eye-ring

Hammond's Flycatcher: Note almost-symmetrical eye-ring and puffy appearance

Hammond’s Flycatcher: Note almost-symmetrical eye-ring and puffy appearance. But I could mainly distinguish this from the Pacific-slope Flycatcher because of its call.

Olive-sided Flycatcher: Notice tall slender shape, "bib"
