Empidonax alnorum
To the right of the bird feeder on a must unusual Mississippi winter, there were 2 Alder Flycatchers. They have a dull, olive-gray to greenish olive back and 2 whitish wing bars.
Breeds in wet thickets; prefers alder, maple or birch.
Even though they mostly eat insects, they will result to eating from the bird feeder in winter.

They are, when they're breeding! Here, it's winter and they loose a lot of their brilliant yellow color. Check out these images:

American goldfinches are yellower; these are greenish-olive sorry the picture quality was not good :-(
I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I don't see any flycatchers here. The 2 birds on the bottom right of the feeder are much more likely American Goldfinches.
