Not sure what it is, but the white eye ring makes me thing it's a vireo of some kind, and of course, neither of my books are any haelp at al, as usual. :)

Thanks Chubri. I did see a flash of yellow when he had his back to me, but didn't get a shot. He was at maximum range and this is a big crop.
Cooper, they come through here going North in the Spring and South in the Fall. They are just way more yellow in the Spring. They aren't here all year around though, so rare that way. :)
