Observation details

En principio la identifiqué como Leiothlypis celata lutescens. Debido a que presenta plumaje completamente amarillo y unas estrías difusas en los costados . Muy activa entre la bandada de muchas L. peregrina alimentándose en los Callistemon sp., y que todas presentan cobertoras infracaudales blancas o claras, mientras esta tiene amarillento extenso en toda la parte ventral. Notar cobertoras infracaudales amarillas. Aunque consulté a John Garret y agradezco por sus excelentes puntos y explicación amplia para determinar que se trata de una L. peregrina con plumaje muy inusual: I’ll admit, I first looked at this and thought, “cool, an Orange-crowned Warbler”, similar to the lutescens subspecies I grew up with in California. Looking a bit closer though, I’d call this an unusually bright/extensively yellow Tennessee. A few points: - long primary projection and short tail - boldly green/yellow edged primaries/secondaries - pale-tipped greater coverts creating a faint wing bar - bright green back, more of a yellow green than OC - I initially thought the undertail coverts where yellowish, but I think they are more likely white with vegetation reflecting - something about the size of the bill and thickness of the eyeline/supercilium strikes me as Tennessee. That said, I think it’s rare to see a Tennessee this yellow and it got me at first. But I do think that’s what it is.
