What about a flycatcher of sorts? It could be an Eastern phoebe, Eastern wood-pewee, least flycatcher, Acadian flycatcher, or possibly a great crested flycatcher although you said no crest on that one.
Flycatchers in general are drab olive colored, and some are stocky-ish and almost the size of robins. The smaller ones are very hard to ID by sight though. My guess would be phoebe. |

disuhan, phoebe looks pretty close! I'll need to see it again to be sure. It definitely is a solitary bird, drab olive brown. Thanks!

Look for behavioral clues for the phoebe also - tail bobbing, and they often return to the same perch after small circular flights chasing bugs.
