Eastern Kingbird

I used a gradient filter to darken the foliage below the bird, to further enhance the bird itself.

Very fine bird photo with excellent lighting!
First thing I noticed, however, was the lack of the conspicuous half-inch of solid white on the tail: the telltale "dipped in white paint" mark.
So, could this be an Eastern Phoebe, rather than a kingbird? We have both here in KY, and I love watching them.

Thank you for the correct ID ... I think. You are probably correct but I wouldn't bet my life on it. Next time at the park, I will ask the bird :-)

Whatever it is it is a great capture. The composition, color and detail are excellent!

Great picture. I also missed the tip on the tail for an Eastern Kingbird.
