- Media: 1 Audio
- Comments: "Male bird initially located visually. Small warbler that had clean white belly, flanks and vent and bright yellow throat and breast. There was a mixed orange and blue-gray partial breast band. Upperoarts were darkish (poor light/viewing angles made exact determination of the color difficult) with bold white double wing bar, with the upper wing bar being more prominent.

About 30 minutes later we heard the bird singlng a couple of hundred metres upstream. We heard the song at least 10-12 times. It was an accelerating high-pitched trill ending a 'zeep' sound. I am familiar with song. We should be able to add poor quality recordings."
