[Maine-birds] Blue-winged Warbler x Golden-winged Warbler, Monhegan

The fun continues: Bryan Pfeiffer and I had an interesting Blue-winged Warbler out here on Monhegan this afternoon. The bird had yellow face and breast, white undertail coverts, distinct darker gold cap, wide blurry gold wing bar, black eye line. Perhaps a Golden-winged grandparent? I have zero familiarity with Blue-winged x Golden-winged birds, but it was clear to both of us that this interesting bird wasn't a "pure" Blue-winged.
