Thanks Joshua and Ashley, the weird angle really stumped me!

Thanks Joshua! Yep, I agree with northern. Your bird has too much white underneath for bahama

There are some shots of the indertail here. I think this is a Northern.

I honestly can't say which one. If I could find any photos of the under side of the tail, they may be different, but I can't find any of a good angle of bahama.

How does a Bahama Mockingbird (Mimus gundlachii) grab you Ashley? http://www.pbase.com/pbannon/image/27988...

I figured. It's a mockingbird then. Can't tell you which one from this angle though

It is honest, look at the perch, exactly the same taken seconds apart

This looks like two completely different birds, did you take these back to back? Such a different shape between the first and second. First looks like a mockingbird, second looks like a warbler. But I'm sure you will tell me this is the same bird haha
