Unknown Warbler, Philadelphia, Haverford, last summer. (1 Viewer)

[Evan Atkinson]

Hi all, I have been going back and forth over what this warbler could be that I photographed in the summer in a small area of woodland. My initial thought was yellow-rumped/myrtle warbler but it does not appear to show the yellow rump, hence why I am confused as to what it could be. I only got 2 shots of the bird before it moved off. All opinions appreciated.


Many thanks,
Ev

I'm struggling even to see a bird in these shots yet alone trying to ID it!

Its practically bang in the middle of the photo

I'd suggest Black-throated Green Warbler

I'd suggest Black-throated Green Warbler

Because it may be one, or because the image comprises mostly blacks and greens??

Tail pattern and what little is visible of the bird jive wth Black-throated Green Warbler

Just for fun, might someone suggest where the bird is?

...For example, all the apparent birdy bits in the rectangle are actually consistent with foliage when you zoom in, at least for me:

You just missed it, look down, just below the bottom right corner of your rectangle

Ah ok. Yes looks ok for black-throated green from what I can see

Ok, thanks all and apologies for the very dodgy pics. Happy with black throated green, just wish it wasn’t so elusive!
