Habitat:

Suburban. Garden. Pacific Grove, California.

Yes, it did show to to me though but not long enough for the pic :-)

Always a pleasure. that's a hard ID because it lacks the crest!

Absolutely, Joshua, that is the one! Many thanks for your help with the ID :-)

Yes, is true. I can´t remember its sides but they look plain grey. Maybe a pee-wee? It had a pretty tuft but I could not catch a pic of it showing it.

I don't see any obvious wing-bars which many flycatchers show and this one seems to have a liking for large seeds. Might be a clue to something else, still in dull winter plumage.
