I've been calling these yellow warblers but since this is the first time I've got any kinf of picture of one and there are loads of these new world warblers that look similar I thought I'd share and ask if I'm right?

Looking good for an adult female Golden Warbler of the Yellow Warbler complex.

Mmm..bit blurred but looks to have too much green on back for Yellow Warbler. I'm no expert on these though. Ones Ive seen appeared more yellow. Ive only seen winter birds in Mexico........on second thoughts and having looked at a video grab i have (see attached) it does lok quite green on uppers.

I thought Golden Warblers were endemic as a ssp to Barbados- is it likely they would be found that far north?

My book (Rafaelle et al) suggests we have an endemic race of our own which he calls "Anegada and most Lesser Antilles race". Unfortunately he only illustrates males of the various races. tbh these little chaps really confuse me and unfortunately I don't get much practice.
