Vermivoia pinus brewsteri
The Golden-winged Warbler hybridizes extensively with the Blue-winged Warbler, giving rise to the distinctly plumaged "Brewster's" and "Lawrence's" warblers. Brewster's looks like a Blue-winged Warbler with a white chest, and Lawrence's looks like an all-yellow Golden-winged Warbler. Backcrosses of hybrids to pure parental types result in many intermediate-appearing birds.
Lovely photo! I'm only just beginning to appreciate how hard warblers are to photograph (& to identify!)
What a wonderful description! I am sorry that I could not give you a more direct reference link. However, the one listed does discuss the hybrids.
i just love that 'yellow blush' and a warm cloud gray ummm ummm to balance it out! with a smattering of white to take the heat off; Sweet.
