Looks to me like a male Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle's subspecies).

Agreed.

Although, it's "Myrtle Warbler." It was named for the plant, not a person.

Actually no: it's "Myrtle Warbler" - it doesn't have a fullstop in its name. And it was named after the plant, not on the plant's behalf

Sigh, at it again. . .. I’m continually surprised at how readily you allow these trivial differences in usage to get under your skin.

TL was at it too, with criticism of the slip 'Myrtle's' but adding two visually ugly grammar errors for the one, so I was just doing 'two can play at that game' 8-P
BTW, agree with Myrtle Warbler :t:
Make that “3 can play”. Neither “for” for “after” nor the placement of punctuation vis-a-vis a close-quote mark at the end of a sentence, has anything to do with sentence structure (i. e., “grammar”) as such but is simply a matter of usage, as I’ve said. “Myrtle’s” for “Myrtle”, on the other hand, is a true error (though not a grammatical one) and is worth correcting whenever encountered (though never ever snarkily
).
