Magnolia Warbler Female? Please help with ID (2 Viewers)

It's a Yellow-rumped Warbler. The apparent yellow on the throat/breast is just from the lighting, and Magnolia should have much brighter and more extensive yellow than that anyway. The underside of the tail is totally wrong for Magnolia, which would show solid black at the tip, and solid white at the base.

Yes Iā€™d underestimated the shadow effect on the yellow, making it look richer than it was.
Iā€™d looked at the undertail and put it down to variability/ feather displacement etc.
However these images do show a degree of variability to the under-tail. šŸ‘
