Yellow-rumped Warbler

Yellow-rumped Warbler (Dendroica coronata)

Changed from Pine Warbler to Yellowrumped. At first I thought the yellow patch showing thru was leaves in background and many of the other characteristics didn't seem like Yellow-rumped (ie the breast stripes not going all around and no yellow at edge of wings under bars but there are also things that don't match Pine and the more I look at the yellow patch it seems part of the bird.

...actually, this looks more like a Yellow-rumped Warbler(Myrtle race,juvi?) to me??|:S| ...isn't that the yellow "rump" showing in this picture?? I have to admit, I haven't seen a Pine Warbler in real life though.
 
Thanks DownyWP for your comment.
