I'm thinking that this bird is a kind of kingbird but since it was in Haiti, I'm not sure. If it is a kingbird, which one? Thanks to Liam for the ID of Gray Kingbird

Habitat:

Coastal

Notes:

Spotted in a tree near the beach, Labadee Haiti. Sorry, I only got two shots.

Thank you very much Liam. I was considering the Gray kingbird but I wasn't sure of the undertail coverts. My bird had a lighter undertail than I had seen on sites. But your article clearly states that it may look lighter to the human eye as well as the camera, and a study indicated that this feature is also found in some juveniles. Everything else matches. Thanks.
