Even thought this Warbler was quite far away and the photo is blurry, we can still ID this Warbler as a Gray-crowned Yellowthroat as follows:
- Gray crown with black mask (you can just make this out in the photo) between eyes and bill.
- Long tail
- Relatively stout bill. The lower mandible is pinkish and the upper mandible is darker. Again you can just make this out in the photo.
- Underparts and throat yellow
- Flanks are darker, but can't tell color from this photo
The long tail and relatively stout bill distinguish the Gray-crowned Yellowthroat from other Yellowthroats, such as the Common Yellowthroat.
The Gray-crowned Yellowthroat is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 820.
