This yellow-rumped warbler visited yesterday. Am I imagining a yellow throat? The one's with the yellow throats are audubons right?

I'm thinking this one's a hybrid - they do occur where the ranges of the two meet. It has some yellow in the throat, which suggests Audubon's, but from the black cheeks it is an adult male, and adult male Audubon's should have more white in the wing, its wing pattern fits Myrtle better.
