This bird stumped both of my bosses who have been avid birders for a few decades... I'm sure you guys can easily ID this, I know I certainly can't.
Photographed last October amongst kinglets and yellow rumped warblers at Elizabeth Morton Wildlife Refuge in Noyac, NY on Jessup's Neck.

Thanks in advance!

In looking at some photos of the bird online, I think what threw off my bosses, and me, is the 2nd white wingbar is hidden in this photo and it appears a little darker (more olive) than usual. Thanks for the confirmation cindy

It's also a female, Luke, which has fainter wingbars than the male, especially outside of breeding season.
