I was spend some time sorting through my Florida reptiles and came across this bird:eek!:. The photo is from southern Florida January 2012. I haven't been able to find it the Eastern Sibley.

Any pointers please?

Thank you very much

Palm Warbler, the western subspecies (which is the one usually wintering in Florida) :t:

Thanks mate. I did look at that, but thought it too grey. The yellow rump gave it away I guess.

Yes, the combo of rump + pale supercillary is good indicator for WPWA. I've ringed quite a few, and the colour range is quite striking - from super dull ones like this, all the way to bright individuals that are almost as bright at the "yellow" sub-species.

The ones that stop by at my place are usually looking like this.
