[mou] Odd Warbler Refound

[alyssa]

Thanks for the pics, Jason. I, myself, am thinking its a Tennesee because:

1) White undertail coverts--or is this another "albino" spot?


Both nonbreeding adult TN's and young Nashvilles have the light yellow wash on chin and belly/breast. The pale pink legs and darker pink bill is another thing that makes this bird unique, since no Vermivora warblers have this trait (see pic 1 to see the classic probing posture). Certainly an odd duck, er, warbler...

  Here are a few shots of the Warbler in question, wish I could have gotten better ones.  Personally I'm leaning towards Nashville because A) the other 2 Warblers in the tree at the time were Nashvilles (many more Nashvilles seen in this neighborhood than Tennessees this fall) & B) I thought I detected a faint eye ring at certain angles...
