Description
Front view of a Yellow-rumped warbler with head turned to side so that one eye is visible. It is perched on a bit of vegetation growing out of water in Florida wetlands.
In summer, both sexes are a smart gray with flashes of white in the wings and yellow on the face, sides, and rump. Males are very strikingly shaded; females are duller and may show some brown. Winter birds are paler brown, with bright yellow rump and usually some yellow on the sides.
Spring molt brings a transformation, leaving them a dazzling mix of bright yellow, charcoal gray and black, and bold white.
