This warbler, which has some pollen on its head, was photographed on the ground in Abaco, Northern Bahamas.  There are orange-crowned warblers everywhere here, but this guy looked a bit different...palm warbler, another orange-crowned...any thoughts?  Thanks - this is very helpful....Erik

Hi,

Looking though my field guide I was thinking Palm as well.  But, for me, it's a tough one!!  Can I just take this time to say how great this forum is....it's challenging (to me) posts like this that keep me on my toes!!!  Good luck at this ID....let's wait to see what the experts here say!!!!!!!! 

Yup, definitely a Palm Warbler.
