Hi, We just put up a feeder that we filled with a dry nutty suet and managed to attract this new bird. It is out of season for a Dusky Flycatcher but I can't figure out what else it could be. We live at high elevation (1 mile) near the tree line of the Sierra Nevada. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Looks to me like a Yellow-rumped Warbler.

Thanks for solving the mystery!! I guess I was fooled by the lack of yellow.

The yellow rump patch can be surprisingly difficult to spot sometimes but keep watching, you’ll see it eventually.
