Hi there, I was out and about on October 24 and came across this lovely warbler. I'm thinking it's a Wilsons Warbler but as I'm not the best with warbler ID was looking for a confirmation, also it seemed a bit late in the season to see this bird here. Thanks for your help

Great shot of this Wilson's. One of my favorite warblers - they are so small and fast hard to get a good shot of them.

Great shot! You can see how the black cap will eventually come through as the yellow on the crown will wear away through the rest of fall and winter. In the Spring it should have a coal black cap!
