[mou] 2008 Spring Migrant ID help needed

[Ed [Minneapolis]]

Hi all,

Back in April of this year - this bird came through my yard in South 
Minneapolis.

I am new to warblers (and MN) - and I thought this was a Tennessee 
warbler - but the black band under the chin does not make sense (to my 
limited knowledge at least).

I have scoured all 10 of my bird guides and even with these photos - and 
here it is July - and I remain still fuzzy/confused as to ID.

Any help is appreciated - off line replies are fine.

I have posted four snaps here:

Cheers and kind regards,

>       This Duck was the one i posted about yesterday. The bird appeared to have a peaked head at all angles. It was a a light buffy wash to the front. It had black and white feathers in the butt region. The bill appeared dark and it was appeared rather large. Any thoughts on this bird would be great.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/natester166
