ID ideas?

[LeeKen]

I'm clearing some cards. I came across these bird pics. I didn't recognize the bird the day I took them, and then I forgot that the pictures existed. They aren't the best shots. I thought I would see if any of you can tell me what the bird is before I delete the files.

They were taken in Detroit Lakes on 9/3/12.

Any ideas?

Mourning or Connecticut Warbler maybe?

Conneticut or Nashville Warbler.

I'm with DonBo, Conneticut or Nashville but leaning toward Conneticut because I don't see a rust patch on the head.

Yepper, gotta go with Conneticut, not enough yellow for Nashville. I was thinking maybe an immature Mourning but looks like it would need more yellow under the beak. Cool little bird.

Thanks for the help. I looked at all the birds that were mentioned, compared to Sibley and then went online for examples. My current thought is that it is a female or first year Nashville Warbler. The yellow throat was the feature that most led me to the Nashville. Google for images of Nashville warblers and see if you agree.

Very well could be, so hard to tell. In my book it looks more like the C but who knows. I don't see the yellow throat that the N should have. The M is out, they don't have the white ring around the eye.
