Taken in Big Cypress National Preserve in Florida. The closest match I could make was an Eastern Phoebe. Am I close?

Thanks

I would agree with Eastern Phoebe; that is within their wintering range (assuming this was taken recently). Although a picture doesn't show it, a good identifying tip in the field is that they almost always wag their tail.

Agree. Eastern Phoebe. Yellowish lower belly and dark bill are two marks.
