Hey all!

Both of these were captured today, 9.25.12 at Cromwell Valley Park in Baltimore County, Maryland. I am pretty sure the first one is a female Black-throated Blue Warbler. The second one seems too slate gray above and not yellowy enough underneath. Are they both BTBW?

I tried to equalize the white balances as well as I could but they still didn't look too similar so I put them back to basically where they came out of the camera.

Thanks!

Both are BTBW.

Yep, both female Black-throated Blues.

Thank you. Is this within normal variation or is it in the lighting and white balance?

Both look pretty good color-wise. The first photo is over-exposed and the second a touch under, so that's throwing the color off just a little.

Ok, thank you. In the field I thought these were Common Yellowthroats so this is a pleasant surprise as I had never seen a female BTBW and had only seen my first male the day before.
