This is actually a Brewster’s Warbler – a hybrid Golden-winged x Blue-winged – that I spotted last spring. Not in the species list here, so I have it under Golden-winged. Hope that’s ok, if not I’ll delete it.

How interesting! Perhaps I need to add a hybrid species so you don’t have to fret about what to label it. Spectacular pic! How did you ever figure out what it was?
I thought it was a Golden-winged but someone else who was there said it was a Brewster’s. I went home and looked it up and sure enough it matched a Brewsters! Unlike a Golden-winged there is no black or gray throat and the eye line is much thinner.
Great capture!
