Tyrannus verticalis
Adults are grey-olive on the upperparts with a grey head and a dark line through the eyes; the underparts are light becoming light orange-yellow on the lower breast and belly. They have a long black tail with white outer feathers. Western kingbirds also have a reddish crown that they only display during courtship and confrontations with other species.
Urban setting
These two live up the street from me and often sit on the wires and call to each other.
Thanks Antonio and Emma. These are double the size of lesser goldfinches and they sit differently.
