Spotted today in Kentucky. I've definitely never seen this guy before, but a yellow-rumped warbler is the closest match I can find.
Description: Small, between sparrow and robin sized. I'd say a titmouse would be its closest common size comparison. Beak on the skinnier side, definitely looks more like a bug catcher than a seed buster. Dark upper head, solid black stripe through eye, light throat. Yellow patches in the "armpits", and some horizontal striping on the body/wings.
Activity: Hopping from branch to branch in a tree for three to five minutes, never standing still for too long. Never visited the suet block or feeder full of black oil sunflower seeds, or gave me a chance for a better picture.
Thanks for the assist, everyone.
