Can someone please confirm this to be a Townsend's Warbler? Taken at Colonel Samuel Smith Park Ontario in May.
Thanks
Chris

I’m having to assume a Magnolia Warbler?

Cheers

Immature Magnolia Warbler. Thanks KenM.

I’m having to assume a Magnolia Watbler?

Cheers

That's my best guess too (basic or non-breeding plumage). Certainly very different to Townsend's

Thanks The Fern.

Magnolia Warbler, and yes, a second calendar-year bird (hatched 2021) based on the extensive wear on the flight feathers in the wing. The plumage in this species is highly variable with overlap between the drabbest younger males and females so I would be hesitant to assign a sex.

Thanks Avery and Microtus.
