Thanks again for the help!
From another great birder "Almost certain it's Blackpoll as it shows no pinkish wash on its undersides, has yellow legs/feet, and *appears* to have yellowish rather than pinkish at the base of the lower bill". Glad everyone agrees!
Definitely. Great ID Ashley
Thank you so much! I had no idea this would be a tricky bird to ID
The views you have are fine, but immature/female warblers are tough! There are a few others on here pretty good with little birds, I send one of them a message and have him look at it. Hopefully by the end of the day someone can figure it out for you!
I have more photos of it. Are there any views that would be more helpful in identifying it?
I think female/immature male blackpoll warbler, not confident enough to suggest it though. Hopefully someone else can give their opinion on it too.
