Shot today in eastern Ontario, Canada, I'm pretty sure this is a Yellow Warbler. And with no pronounced streaks on the breast would that indicate it was a female? Can someone confirm or correct those.

As an aside, it had just lifted up from the branch a split second before taking flight.

Yellow Warbler for sure, but I'm not sure how to rule out a 1st-year male. I seem to see faint streaks, which I don't remember seeing on most females.

Yes, it definitely had faint streaks. I wondered too about it being a 1st year male.
