Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata)… colors can vary by age & season…unlike other birds their special digestive system allows them to eat bayberry and wax myrtle.

@tangledwing I like this photo because it does not show the yellow rump. Last week when I was out birding I saw a similar bird, and I concluded it was a "butter-butt" from seeing its yellow shoulders and yellow crown, though its rump was not visible.
