CLOSED: Question on Yellow-rumped Warbler

Manzanita, OR(Zone 8b)

There's darker colors on this Yellow-rumped Warbler and that white above the eye doesn't show in my other Audubon's photos. Could this be a juvenile or a hybrid?

It looks like what they call a "spring male" in my book.

It's a Myrtle Warbler, not an Audubon's Warbler - as well as the white eyebrow, also a white (not yellow) throat. Although Myrtle Warbler is mainly eastern N America, some (probably mainly Alaskan breeders) also winter on the west coast - given that Alaska is still mostly snow-covered, it's just a little early for them to be heading north just yet.
