- Comments: "Juv/1st year female type. Small warbler with short tail. base of undertail white blocks with tail tip black. 2 broad, white wing bars. Creamy tan/yellow throat chest and flanks fading into white on belly. Face had dark, solid eyeline, broad, pale supercilium. Short bill with pale lower mandible. Green cast to upperside was hard to capture due to the angle, but hints were visible in life.
The bird seemed to stay in one tree that looked like an elm or hazelnut at the original pin posted to Discord. That said, it was very hard to track and even with birders triangulating it would go for long stretches without being seen, disappearing as it went higher up the tree eventually to be refound when it came lower.

The earth has its music for those who will listen,
Its bright variations forever abound;
With all the wonders that God has bequeathed us,
There is nothing that thrills like the magic of sound.
