horizontal stance, slightly larger and more pleasingly proportioned than Common Yellowthroat (several nearby, including at least two in same dense bushes) and smaller, less blocky than Connecticut Warbler (seen yesterday).

greyish olive above, greyer towards head (reminiscent of ad Tennessee Warbler colouring above), plain wings and tail, yellowish belly and undertail, more extensive yellow than eg Orange-crowned Warbler, paler/duller towards throat.

didn't get a clear look at face/head, but no noticeable dark markings, just looked plain.

pale legs."
