For whatever it may be worth, when I see odd birds like this *Tye's Warbler*,
I look at my old birding books, as they often give representations of
species that are different than newer resources like Sibley, BNA, All About
Birds, and eBird.
Mostly looking at head and nape coloration...
My 1966 The Original Watercolor Paintings by John James Audubon of the
Birds of America would say this *Tye's Warbler* is a Hooded.
My 1966 Birds of North America would also suggest Hooded.
My 1983 The Audubon Society Master Guide to Birding would argue Wilson's.
I say, if you can't tell already, we call it a *Tye's Warbler*.
Good birding, Tye! Hope you can continue to get photos!

Given white tail flashes, I suspect an aberrant-plumage Hooded Warbler.

The bill looks long to me for a Wilson's. The separation in yellow
between the cap and back are inexplicable to me. It is strange that the
first (and early Wilson’s) would also be one that is unique in my
experience with that species. It doesn’t fit hooded either. So…….maybe
look further afield in possibilities…..
