Its a warbler... but which one?? **copied from Avian**
this one has me baffled, I have looked through my books and cant figure out exactly which one it is, I am not to familiar with them so some assistance would be nice :)
Canon 7D, 500L + 1.4TC, ISO 200, F 6.3 1/500 with flash, small crop ~ 15 %
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...
