BirdManAndy Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Poor little fellow was inside Whole Foods near Bryant Park, 42nd Street, NYC around noon today. It was hopping around the floor and a refrigerator case. I hope it isn't missing any tail feathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Looks like its missing its tail, no? I'm not sure what it is but House Wren, Common Yellowthroat, Scaly-breasted Munia come to mind. It would be ideal if we could see the shape of the bill. House Wren? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Looks kind of weird. I doubt that this is a Scaly-breasted Munia, but it could be some other escapee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasan Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Why not Orange-crowned Warbler? Looks much better for that species to me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasan Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 The plumage looks too uniformly dirty yellow for COYE, the bill is small and sharp, and the legs look thin, not thick and bright pink as COYE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
