Observation details
This has been kicking around in my 'to look at more closely' photograph folder for some time. I have included shots of the bird as an illustration of how muted the pattern can be in female or first year male birds - this one had several eBird reviewers leaning Kirtland's. Fortunately, the reviewer with the most experience pointed out that some spots coalesced as streaks on one side, some spots were too far to the center for Kirtlands' Warbler, and the eyering was more consistent with Magnolia than Kirtland's. Then, i found the clincher photograph on my significant other's camera and the undertail pattern left no doubt at all. The confusing (to us) shots are (1)-(6); the clincher is (7)
