This warbler was at Cayo Guillermo. Is it Yellow Warbler? Juvenile male perhaps?

I haven't seen one that looks like this but can't suggest what else it could be?

A little odd there on the breast - maybe a foreign substance? - but otherwise fine for Yellow.

Thanks guys. Maybe Juvenile Cuban race looks like that?

Cuban young YW seems very gray. I propose this is a bird changing from that plumage to adult male which is why a few rufous streaks are showing through.
