Observation details

Continuing female, first found last Thursday by Jhoneil Centeno . This bird had a brown/olive back and auriculars, a thin but contrasty cream eyeline, a unstreaked cream/olive breast and belly. There was a small but distinctive pale patch near the base of the outer primaries on the folded wing. It had relatively long undertail coverts, giving it a short-tailed appearance from below. The legs were pink. The dark bill was long and pointy (typical for a warbler). A few times it gave its junco-like chip call. Most of the time I watched the bird, it was in cottonwoods, inspecting the few remaining leaves. It was first at about 33.96558° N, 117.67765° W, where I watched it for about 15 minutes. It flew into adjacent sycamores (which still have many of their leaves) and I lost it. I later refound it in cottonwoods at 33.96663° N, 117.67709° W
