I’d like to see more details of the song characteristics, especially for a “heard only” record, but the repetitive nature of the singing and the comparison with Gray Flycatcher are sufficient.

Distinctive vocalizations.

Although the bird wasn't seen, the song of a Least Flycatcher is very distinctive and was described well in the report. The habitat also seems correct.

Description included the song and elimination of similar Empidonax species.

Distinctive “heard only” records are acceptable to me, and the “insistent” description of the vocalizations noted lends comfort in accepting this submission; I may be swayed to change however due to the observer’s limited experience.
