They are great to have around as they eat a lot of bugs. They like to nest in a protected site but not in a nest box. I put up platforms for them under the eaves and they used them every year.
Yes, I believe it is a phoebe (we call them flycatchers). We have a nest of them every year under our deck. nest made with moss, mud, horsehair. Love to have them around as they sure eat a lot of wasps, and bugs.
