Panama Flycatcher? (in Costa Rica)

Panama Flycatcher?: Calla de Gambia, Golfito, Costa Rica — Our brief visit to Calla de Gambia was certainly productive. This is, I am thinking, a Panama Flycatcher, a bird that, despite its name, has most of its range in northern South America, coming up into Panama on both coasts and limited to the a thin band on very edge of the Pacific coast in Costa Rica. It could be, however, a Great Crested Flycatcher. The photo was taken through the glass on our bus, and I had to adjust the color to compensate. Even so, I would expect a sharper division on the chest and a darker yellow on the belly in a Great Crested. ??? Still thinking Panama. 🙂 If anyone has a better idea let me know.
