Warbler Yellow Rumped basic information
During breeding season, it is a dark bird, with darker shades all around its body, except for the bright yellow spots that occur all over its bottom, head and side areas. The non-breeding season causes it to lose most of this coloring, opting instead for a lighter brown color, the yellow spots having all but disappeared save for one spot on the rear end and a soft yellow coloring on the wings. The Audubon variety of Yellow Rumped Warbler is another story, coming in overall darker tones than the Myrtle race and sporting only a yellow spot on the throat instead of all over its body. All Yellow Rumped Warblers share a few common features, like a single white eyebrow line, a white underpart coloring scheme, and a few splashes of color streaking along either side of its body.
