This is an excellent written report from an experienced observer.  The detailed description of the bird’s plumage and foraging behavior conclusively describe a Bay-breasted Warbler.

The bird was well described and similar warblers elminated.

The report supports Bay-breasted Warbler and eliminates similar species.

The description seemed fairly complete. I'm convinced.

I was a bit confused as to why the reporter considered that this bird might be mistaken for a Blackpoll when it was described as having the orange-brown flanks diagnostic of BBWA. But the diagnostic fieldmark is noted, and other features compatible with the identification.

Carefully observed and well described (esp. legs & undertail)
