It looks a little like a Carolina Wren, the state bird of SC.
But, there are a few differences.

Thanks... I was thinking the Great Crested Flycatcher... I was able to look into the Audubon Field Guide and that is the closest thing I could find

My guess as well. Myiarchus tyrannulus I had to do a double take, because the angle of the shot made the tail look very short. Good call, "retired".
Your shot is very nice as well, Mister Wilson.

Thanks I saw one Monday so it was fresh in my mind.
We don't have them out here, but they resemble the Western Kingbird, so I went to the flycatcher family first to key it out.
