    Nice comp, exposure looks good as does the sharpening. I'd prefer the lime-green leaf at bottom not be there, as well as the two strands hanging behind in URC. HA a wee bit off. Love the leaves in ULC.

    A tough one for sure! The drab plumage for this time of year likely makes this a female. Obvious field marks to watch are the wingbars, yellowish legs/feet combo (I believe the "black" leg is caused by the shadow), white undertail coverts, what appears to be faint strewaking on the breast, and faint yellowish wash to the face area.

    Still a tough one, I cannot be certain but it may be a Blackpoll Warbler. I will copy this to the "All about birds" forum to get the ID experts to chime in...

    My first guess would be the same as Daniel's - a female Blackpoll Warbler.

    From what I can see here, I'd agree with female Blackpoll. 2 wingbars, white undertail coverts and slight streaking on sides are my basis.

    I tried my guess in Avian, I think it may be Cape May female.

    I only have a few seconds and no guide to double check, but this looks like a drab Cape May to me off the cuff. I'll look harder at it when I can.
