I took this picture a year ago in Titusville, Florida at the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. I never identified it properly and chucked it somewhere in a folder on my computer. A year later, I'm back trying to figure out which bird species it is.

I apologize for the bad quality of the photograph. I maxed out on the zoom and it was taken through a car window. I'm definitely a lot better than that for sure!

Hopefully someone can help me identify this species properly!

That is a Yellow-rumped Warbler. The image properties say the photo was taken on February 23. It looks to me as though this individual is getting its breeding plumage a bit earlier than the norm, though perhaps that is not unusual for Florida(?)
