I have two of these little guys feeding off my bottle brush tree. I did some research, but I am still not sure. So far I think it is either a Palm Warbler or a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where and when was the photo taken, Dave?

Palm warbler for sure. Yellow undertail coverts as opposed to a yellow rump.

Based on Dave's private email to me describing the photo as being taken near Tampa, FL, I agree this is likely a Palm Warbler. The brightness in the neck and chest don't allow me to color or pattern there, but the undertail, coverts and rump are right. Definitely not a Yellow-rumped.
