Resin wrote: I'd agree with Swainson's - the bill is long and sharp-pointed (Swainson's does have a large bill as warblers go), whereas R-eV has a bill with a distinct hooked tip (a bit like a small shrike's bill). Also the supercilium (eyebrow) is yellow-buff, not white, and has a black lateral crown stripe. Finally, the legs are pinkish - right for Swainson's, not for R-eV (dull blue-grey).
