ID for this warbler please

[Karen Forderer]

Hi, I didn't get a great shot of this bird because it didn't stay still for long! I found it in at Burleigh Falls, Ontario (just north of Peterborough) last week (August 8th) I only saw one but it was hanging around with Cedar Waxwings, Yellow Warblers and Yellow Rumped Warblers.

I'm not sure if it might be a Canada Warbler in some kind of transition because of the black parts on the breast.

Thanks for you help.

This is just a first impression but I'm thinking Blackpoll. The shape, white undertail feathers, wingbars coming in, and greenish seem to point that way. I think Canada has dark undertail feathers so that might be eliminated. My guess is that this is a juvenile bird coming into first basic plumage.

I like Pine Warbler for this one. The feet do not look yellow enough for Blackpoll.

I've got to go along with Rick.. I think this is a Juv. or molting Pine Warbler..

JMHO

Thanks everyone, for the help on this. I think you are right about it being a pine warbler. There weren't any other birds like it around the same area at the time to give me a clue.
