Monte,
I just checked my e-mail and saw your entry and several replies to it. I
know that I am late in getting into the discussion on this bird, but I
wanted to add my comments for whatever they may be worth.
I believe it is a male Tennessee Warbler in breeding plumage based on the
following characteristics:
the bill is cut off by a leaf but appears to be longer and pointed
the curved supercilium extends from behind the eye to the base of the bill
a black eye streak is on both sides of the eye
the area under the eye is white
it is all white from the throat to the under coverts
it appears to have dark tail feathers.
For whatever it is worth, several of us saw a Tennessee Warbler at Quintana
on Wednesday 15 April.
Please let all of us know what the final consensus is. Thank you.

Quintana gave us this today. At the risk of affronting certain membersEdit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at
I would like it if someone could ID this for us. I am pretty certain by
bill that it is a flycatcher, but cannot call the specific. The white
eyebrow/mustache just doesn't fit, for even a gnatchatcher. The only
thing in Kaufman's is a Gray flycatcher, but they don't belong here.
Sorry for the pictures it gave only a quick look and never emerged
completely from the underbrush.
