The warblers are very difficult for me - this one didn't look quite like a yellow-rumped with that white eyebrow stripe and the bill looked too long - but can't figure out what else it could be. Any help appreciated:

Palms often get me...they can look completely different 9 different times. Annoying birds! Thank you Robin. I've got palms much duller looking, without the eyebrow stripe, with red caps on their heads, with no yellow under the tail...seems that palms are the ones that catch me out the most often.

Yes they are variable (although I have never seen one with no yellow under the tail), but they all wag their tails, which few other warblers do.
