How to Identify:
This Philadelphia Vireo was a very difficult identification. I’m not sure you can get more than just a good idea of what it is from this photo alone. From structure alone you can tell that this is most likely a vireo and not a warbler. With the amount of yellow in the underparts especially in the undertail coverts this can be identified with some certainty as a Philadelphia Vireo. Since this bird was seen in other positions we know that it is indeed a Philadelphia Vireo.
