Family member sent these pics of bird below a house window 7 miles east of Newport. My guess is its a warbler we have in CO also, maybe juv WEWA. Thanks, Mindy PS - Hope I haven't broken rules with this submittal.

This bird is a male Wilson's Warbler. This species is currently migrating southwards.

Having done some research in Colorado on this bird, I'm thinking this is probably an adult female Wilson's rather than a male. I had discovered by banding and looking at brood patches, that the partial black cap is more often than not an older female.
