I saw this bird in Northern Vermont on Friday.

Thanks very much!

black throated blue wabler? do you have any side shots?

[Dilee3]

Here are two side shots, sorry for the quality, I was in a kayak when I took the video. Then I took pictures from the video.

Looks like a Yellow-rumped to me.

[blackburnian]

you may be right psweet

[blackburnian]

but what says butterbutt to you?

[psweet]

The streaked breast and the yellow being noticeably stronger at the side of the breast. The face pattern works for Myrtle, and you can see wingbars in the first shot.

[JimBob]

Agree with psweet for the reasons stated above.

[blackburnian]

I agree. Also, in photo 1 you can see a dash of yellow on the crown.
