It's just a flesh wound.
This bird is labeled as an Orange-crowned Warbler, but I can't see it. What do you think?

Pale legs and long blunt tipped beak, tail length and what can be seen of under tail color rules out Wilson’s Warbler, looks like A pretty normal Yellow Warbler in my opinion.

I don’t believe Yellow Warblers come with flesh coloured bills?

And now the link in the op post leads to nothing :C

Well, I looked again and I have grave difficulty seeing a yellow warbler in the image. Maybe it could be a Mourning W.

I can't see the image any more, but as I recall the lighting effect on the head looked really washed out, leaving it only possible to guess what the plumage on the head really looks like. It could easily be greyer in real life. Other features like the shape of the bill, leg colour etc looked more reliably captured I think.I am in the opposite camp, I can’t see mourning warbler. It doesn’t have any gray tones at all. The legs and bill do look wrong for yellow warbler, initially I admittedly looked past this on purpose because it looks wrong for anything else and I wrote it off as being a developing juvenile. In hindsight this was a bad call and not a good approach to the discussion. I don’t know what it is but do not see Mourning Warbler, not to say it isn’t one.
Larry, the image is on this checklist here https://ebird.org/checklist/S75153509
