Really struggled with this one. So with no confidence: I see a uniform green mantle which should rule out Blackburnian. There is a strong yellow arc under the eye and a yellow throat. Broadly, it looks like Townsend's but this should be at higher altitude and the auricular area is normally framed by a yellow arc

Thank you I do have quite a few other pictures I will check to see if any are better.
Mike.
 
I have added a few more pictures not sure if they will help.
