This one is by the well-known bird photographer Greg Lavaty-the crest on his bird looks a lot like the crest I I photographed in the photo below (note the smudgy undertail coverts, an issue raised today)
This photo taken in Arizona shows very light underparts, a very large bill like on my bird like my photo below and even a pretty large looking eye.
This link shows a photo of a Greater Pewee in Arizona that also shows very light underparts and a small crest.
This photo, taken in Mexico, shows a similar extra large beak and a slight crest.
This bird photographed in the Davis Mountains of Texas shows similar underparts (tho it has a little color in the middle, a location not accessed by my photos) and eye standing out. The bill on this bird is not as large as mine but the crest looks similar. Also good shot showing the tail is not real short but also not very long either.
Another photo taken in Mexico showing pretty washed out underparts.
Here is a photo of a Greater Pewee that was in McAllen Texas in 2010, also shows pretty washed out underparts. It doesn't show much of a crest. And a second photo I took that day of the bird from a different angle showing more color on underparts and more of a crest-points out differences of photos due to differing light and angles of view.
