One of the flycatchers. Maybe alder flycatcher.

Might be an Eastern Phoebe. Looks like it has the "Phoebe smudge" on the sides of its chest & a thin eye ring.

You didn't give us much to work with (no location), but I find Great Crested Flycatchers to sound like frogs. You can listen to their sounds on All About Birds (Cornell Lab of Ornithology) or Xeno-canto.

No sighting, but both my brother & I in rural settings have recently (so it's resident, not migratory) heard this bird just as getting dark or dark. It's loud & goes in an increasing rate: Owwww...............owwww...........owwww.........owww........oww.......oww......oww.....oww....oww...ow..ow.ow.ow.ow.ow. Almost certain it's not any species of owl or grouse. Seems to come from near ground level.
