[Gander]

I have been asked to ID the bird pictured on some wallpaper. I'm guessing it is a true bird, and not an artist's flight of fancy, but it is not something I'm familiar with.

 

[Butty]

A very-passable yellow-throated warbler at top. The other, much less impressive, might be intended to be cerulean warbler or possibly white-breasted nuthatch. All N America.

I had assumed that the second bird was just going to be a female or juvenile of the first. Here is a full view of it.

Thinking of Northern Parula for the top one? No idea about the second bird: female Northern Parula?

The birds, but not the background foliage, are taken from Audubon's Birds of America plates. The top bird is a Yellow-throated Warbler:

Yellow Throated Warbler

This beautiful bird absents itself from the State of Louisiana only for two months in the year, December and January. When they return in the beginning of February, they throw themselves by thousands...

While the bottom one is a "Blue-green Warbler", Audubon's name for the female Cerulean Warbler:
