Magnolia Warbler (Setophaga magnolia), Battiste's B&B, Hereford AZ, Cochise County

This Magnolia Warbler was found and photographed by Tony Battiste on 07 October 2016

Casual in Arizona, nearly annual as a migrant or winter visitor.

The tail pattern of Magnolia Warbler is diagnostic at all times, which has bright white undertail coverts with a noticable dark tipped tail. Other field marks are two narrow white wing-bars, a plain greenish back, and a pale gray neckband in the middle of a bright yellow chin and breast continuing down to the lower belly, black streaks on flanks.
