Kerry, I would describe this birds as a possible intergrade. (The term
hybrid doesn't really apply here, since both forms are considered the same
species.)
I wouldn’t call this an "Audubon's" for a couple of reasons: one is that
there is a hint of a supercilium (pale eyebrow) present; and two, that the
pale throat patch extends back a ways under the auriculars (cheek) patch.
"Audubon's" typically lacks the supercilium, and the pale throat should only
extend as far as the bottom front point of the auriculars, creating a more
rounded throat patch.
Cool bird, though -- and very nice photos!

Hello, all!
Just curious, would the attached be photos of Audubon's subspecies? Or a
possible hybrid? Or is the yellow on the throat just an anomaly? This
little cutie graced our yard yesterday, filling up on insects that were
congregated on the garage roof and eaves. We have seen the yellow throated
yellow rumped individuals in Colorado - it is a bit freaky at first to see
that throat color on a yellow rumped warbler.
I would like to add this sighting to eBird.
