Yep (except now Myrtle Warbler, since Y-r got split)

Many sources says Myrtle and Audubon's used to be separated but now merged and subdivided into 4 ssp - two in Mexico and Central America. Another bad case of common name confusion - Yellow - rumped Warbler is used for the 4 ssp as a whole but in the east US it is Myrtle as Resin says.

Yep, but they've just recently been re-split again ;-)

Thanks, I knew about the split. The version of the Y-r in my area is the Myrtle. I guess out west its the Audubon.

Not that surprised about the split - its a trend thing - 10 years ago it's lump, lump, lump and now its split split split.
