Hi all,

I am trying to help out a friend who recently video taped a Townsend's-ish Warbler in Kansas. The bird has many Townsend's traits but lacks a yellow chest and the flank streaking doesn't seem spot on for this species. Given birders experience with this species in the region I thought I might take a quick poll as to everyone's opinion on this id. Please follow the link below and thanks in advance.
