Empidonax hammondii
Olive-gray above and buffy-yellow below, a white uneven eye ring and a small dark bill. Also there are two white wing bars (barely noticeable on the left side of the pic).
Spotted in under brush in a buffer forest of tall fir trees.
Forages by watching from a perch and then flying out to catch insects, usually returning to perch to eat them. Uses feeding perches at various heights in forest, often low; may take insects in mid-air, from surface of foliage or branches, or from the ground.

Your welcome, Brian38....
Thank you Hema and maplemoth. It was difficult to get a good pic of this bird. I practically had to chase it around the forest.
A cute little bird....
