peter571 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Photographed this warbler yesterday, here in Winnipeg. It has a lot to suggest its a Nashville but the head is the wrong color(not gray) and the leg color (pinkish) is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Looks better for an immature male Common Yellowthroat to me. Edited September 15, 2018 by The Bird Nuts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I would bet that with a frontal angle on this bird, the toes would look a lot darker -- we are fooled a bit by the pads of the toes being bright, which is not all that rare in Nashville. Of course, this is also a male in high condition, and it would be much less likely (hopefully) to be confused with Common Yellowthroat.
