Yellow-Throated Vireo

Continuing on from my last post, what I thought was going to be a sulphur-bellied flycatcher was a yellow-throated vireo. 
They yellow throat and white belly. 



Adults are mainly olive on the head and upperparts with a yellow throat and white belly and they have dark eyes with yellow "spectacles." The tail and wings are dark with white wing bars. They have thick blue-gray legs and a stout bill.

Range from Birds of the World. They breed in southern Canada and the eastern U.S. and migrate to the deep southern U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America (where I saw it).
