While out yesterday re-locating my golden-winged warbler that I had gotten blurry ID shots of the week before (happily I did relocate the bird and got some better shots this time)...I shot a few other warblers hanging out in the same batch of trees - one which I immediately ID'd as a yellow-rumped warbler on scene because I saw a noticeable yellow-square patch at the base of the tail, upon closer inspection of the photos, looks a bit odd. The white patch behind and below the eye and flecks of white on the top of the head and sides of the wing threw me, and I couldn't come up with a match in any of the bird guides. I have no idea if this could be some morph, phase, or hybrid, or if it's not a yellow-rumped at all. Any help appreciated:
