Vireo gilvus
This species is a very simple but drab bird. I was told they are drab only because they don't have much markings on them to make them interesting. I think they look pretty because they are simple with their no barred wings and tail. Light colored underneath and a pale olive brown on top. They have a faint eyebrow and under eye.
This one is partially leucistic. It has a white cap and some white feathers on the upper part of the wings. I couldn't see the whole bird so it may have more white on it.
Mixed woods like Oak, Buckeye and Sycamore.
