Message: <blockquote data-quote="Julian H" data-source="post: 1290629" data-attributes="member: 33946">Flamboro warblerIn my humble opinion, this bird is clearly not a Garden Warbler (it simply doesn't remotely look like one - shape, color, head pattern, long obvious super, leg color) and while color looks pale enough to suggest a Booted, (and I would think the same if i saw it), closer looks seem to indicate that it's a phyllosc (head pattern, indistinct loral stripe, long undertail coverts) since the jizz just doesn't seem right for that species. My guess is it's probably a Willow Warbler, albeit unusually pale, but it's tough to really have a stronger feeling than a guess based on the photos (no disrespect to Mark).best,julian</blockquote>
