Looks like another female type Cerulean Warbler.

Cheers

I thought Cerulean but was hesitant to say. Here is a short video I took (slowed down).

Sorry to crash in on your thread RKA but I posted a warbler a few months ago similar to this and was told it was a blackburnian warbler in fall plumage. When I thought I saw it again i didn't bother to ask for an ID (second pic).

I just wanted to repost so ppl could compare and state clearly these are different birds from yours and why.

Interesting! does this suggest overwintering in the Caribbean for this species, or is it already
an existing known region ?

It suggests that the status has gone from wow to just silly, perhaps they've been getting overlooked.

When I looked at this last night, I didn't comment but thought 'surely it can't be a another', Trinidad's 3rd and 4th records at the same time unless, its the same bird?

I know they Winter in Central America and Northern South America, thus I suppose T&T is not that too far away, and could easily have been overlooked in the past, and perhaps even other (Dendroica...old money) species.

Andyadcock, I think it's the same bird seen from when Dec to now, moving around in the area (about a half a mile radius). I started another thread to make my points clearer:
