Orange-crowned Warbler (Leiothlypis celata)

This individual appears to be undergoing preformative molt with retained juvenile wing coverts showing pale wing-bars. The orange on the crown is never easy to see and absent on juveniles. This is presumably the brighter subspecies "L. c. lutescens" ranging along the West Coast of North America. Formerly placed in the genus "Oreothlypis" and before that in "Vermivora."
