Hope this picture is good enough.

No eye ring. I'm thinking Wilson's or Yellow Warbler

Thanks

I'd say, Yellow Warbler.

[The Bird Nuts]

Why not Orange-crowned?  It's quite green and the wings are very plain.

wouldn't they have a thick eye ring?

Orange-crowned -- it has eye arcs and a black eyeline. The underparts are too dull for Wilson's and none of the wing feathers have yellow fringes, ruling out Yellow.

Agreed with Orange-crowned.

• With more investigation I'm going with Orange-crowned
• Thank you

I guess I'll have to agree with Orange-crowned Warbler.

I recall what Tony said recently about using Pine Warbler as his starting point for drab warblers with wing bars.  I feel the similarly about drab warblers without wing bars - I start with Orange-Crowned.
