[cobirds] Possible Greater Pewee in Canon City: review of established field marks

I have had two emails with some questions about the bird I photographed yesterday fitting field marks established for Greater Pewee.  I have excerpted field marks/descriptions from The Sibley Guide to Birds of North America, Cornell's 'All About Birds' online website, National Audubon Society's 'Audubon Birds' website and Birds of North America online and posted them on my Birds and Nature blog in a easier to read columnar format--with my estimation of whether this bird meets the field mark noted to the right of each one.  I have added small photos after a few to show where I am getting my view.

I welcome constructive criticism and would ask that you be specific as to which source and which field mark.

Interesting finding:  some describe upperparts/plumage as gray and a few say brown.   Also several say 'slight crest' while Sibley says 'pointed crest.'
