Wilsonia pusilla or Wilsonia citrine??
Anyone want to give this warbler a try in identification?? This time I have narrowed it down to the Wilson ’s Warbler or a Hooded Warbler! I am 99.95 sure I know what this species is but would like to hear which species you think it is! (or do you think it is a different species?)

Welcome everyone to the birdQUIZ blog that will help you with your bird identification skills. Feel free to use any kind of reference you have available for your identification (Sibley’s Field Guide is recommended)!! Good Luck Everyone!
If you need spoilers click on the comments but I strongly suggest that you try to identify the bird first before moving down to see what answers have been given already. The person who commented could be wrong!! Most or all of these birds have been identified in the hand already and we know the answer (unless we say we don't know the answer).

My guess is Wilsonia pusilla, based on apparent eye ring, cheek coloration, bill length, and outer tail feathers.

My first impression was Hooded, but the bill looks really small (more Wilsony) but I think I’ll stick with Hooded.

My first impression is Hooded. And I am sticking with it.
