Thanks to everyone who chimed in on this. After getting such varied replies from our esteemed birding community I don't feel bad for getting this one wrong. Votes went to Chestnut-sided, Bay-breasted, Tennessee and several good tips on making her a female Blackpole. Rob Spears sent me a photo of a very similar looking Blackpole, and I see on page 179 of Tom Stephenson and Scott Whittle

s Warbler Guide that also looks very similar. I am confident that is correct. Thanks again for all the input. It is fun to study these beautiful warblers.

Can anyone tell me who this little guy/gal is with a grenish head? The ony warblers I can think of with greeish head are Chestnut-sided and Black-throted Green. My guess is the Black-throated Green, even though it lacks the black throat and typicl facial features. Taken on Mohegan Island May 23, 2016. It only stuck around long enough for one picture.
