LindaTX, I love those pretty Inca Doves, they are only found in the SW U.S. and Mexico ... wish they came to Florida! LOL, the bird that the cat's dragged in looks to be made of a felt like fabric ... maybe they scrunched it up to get it through the cat door? Could be that a neighbor is missing a felt bird from a wreath or garden decoration?
I have a lot of trouble telling some birds apart and I agree that when it comes to Flycatchers, it's sometimes difficult to discern the differences.
I thought these (photos from a couple of years apart) were both the Eastern Phoebe but now that I compare photos they look a bit different.

These pic's are from a year apart and I thought they were both the Great Crested Flycatcher but now I don't think so because now comparing photos side by side, they look entirely different and the bird in the second picture has a longer tail.

The Mystery bird from yesterday ... I was hoping to hear it's call but it was quiet. I'm going to be watching in hopes it appears again in the next few days!
