I've seen this bird the past few days, and finally was able to get a few photos. Please respond if you can help ID.
Thanks.
CLOSED: unknown juvenile warbler?
Hutton's Vireo is best match for me.
That's what I thought when I first saw the bird. It was after I looked at the photos that I thought warbler perhaps. Thanks for the input. I have seen mature Hutton's here, but it's probably been 9-10 years ago.
Agree a warbler; I'm thinking probably a juv. Audubon's Warbler, but hard to be 100% certain.
Hutton's Vireo would have a shorter, relatively stouter bill with a more obviously hooked tip, and 'spectacles' round the eye.

I was not 100% on the Hutton's...my field guide does not show juvenile Vireo's or Warbler's...agree that the bill may not be correct but I did think I seen white around the eyes and going by adults the wing-bars and range led me to Hutton's and I could not get any farther.
Hmmm! Does look a bit more Vireo-like in that latest pic
Keep snapping more pics!

Definitely a juvenile...I can see the stretched mouth on the last shot.
Definite Hutton's Vireo in that last pic.

Thanks Burd and Resin! I really appreciate the help. I did see the little one again this early morning, but just as I was focusing, a jay came in close. End of that.
At any rate, I'm glad I got the photos I did, and it goes to show one should get as many as possible of a bird in question.
Glad we got that one solved Tiger...the extra picture's really helped.
Yep, a good demonstration of the dangers of relying on a single pic!
