This report includes the field markds needed to identify this bird as a Northen Parula. Although I can't see the eye-arcs in the photographs they are mentioned in the description and the breastband can be seen. I assume it is quality of the photographs that are the problem.

Description and photos confirm ID of Northern Parula. In addition this individual has maroon spots on the sides of the breast, visible in the photos, that are absent on #58-B-07 confirming that his is a different individual. One of the photos of #58-B-07 (the top one on the page) does show a hint of a spot but its extent and location appear different and it isn't visible in the other photos.

Photos adequate to show diagnostic fieldmarks - yellow throat and breast, white belly, dark breastband.

When I first noticed the date and location of this record, I assumed it was the same bird as record 58-B-07, but after reading this excellent account, I too am convinced this was a second individual.

The photographs alone are adequate to eliminate all other species.
