[cobirds] Re: Empid ID help, please (Boulder County)

Thank you all!  The unanimous decision was that this is a Dusky Flycatcher.

Hi folks,

I saw the bird below in the Boulder Community Gardens yesterday afternoon.  At first I thought it was a Dusky Flycatcher (the most common in the Gardens), but it was flicking its tail like a Gray Flycatcher and it looks grayer than a typical Dusky. It was also perched low to the ground, but then in the Gardens there aren't many higher perches. I've stared at the Sibley illustrations of both species for a while now, and can't seem to attain enlightenment. 

I'd appreciate any ID suggestions!
