Warbler or Viero?
Date: November 8, 2009 Looking for ID of this little guy. We have a 5 acre pecan ranch and these little ones are all over picking off the pecan worms falling to the ground. All birds submitted by me will be from Azle, TX. I don't know where you want that information noted.

Thank you
I have a photo somewhere with the yellow rump marking so I believe you are correct. However, I am working on cataloging my photos so that I can upload similar photos to determine variations. In my profile I have a list of birds I know are correctly IDed. Should I upload for the guide?
My Opinion
I didn't scrutinize every last thing on your list but I don't see why you shouldn't post whatever you want.
Question...
Is there a means, as we have on BugGuide.net, to link more than one photo of the same specimen?
Multiple Images, Same Individual
I'm not sure but I don't think there is; not exactly like BG. The only way to do it is to use the [thumb: xxxx] tag. Mike's usually somewhere nearby.
Changed Taxon
Media was moved from ID Request.
Feel free to post whatever images you like. And David's right, at the moment this site doesn't have a multiple-linked-pictures-of-the-same-specimen feature yet. So many things I'd like to work on if/when I find some spare time!

Warbler
Welcome Annette.
I'm going with Yellow-rumped Warbler. This is a highly variable species (used to be two species) but with the yellow spots on the side of the breast, the streaking on the breast and down the sides, etc, etc, that's what I'm going with. I think I can see a tiny speck of the yellow rump in the photograph. The dark flight feathers make this specimen look different to me.
With the prominent supercilium, with the throat sweeping back onto the neck outlining a kind of dark auricular, this specimen seems to trend toward the Myrtle type(s).
Nice arrangement you have: the birds get a great meal and you have fewer agricultural pests. You might try and take some time to study the variation in this species that is represented on your property.
