Setophaga palmarum
Small songbird. Brownish back. Chestnut cap. Bright yellow undertail. Constantly wags tail. Underparts yellow or yellowish. Faint streaks on sides.
The rusty-capped Palm Warbler can be most easily recognized by the tail-wagging habit that shows off its yellow undertail. It breeds in bogs and winters primarily in the southern United States and Caribbean.
