This little fellow was busy hopping around near the ground in a resort at Jibacoa, Cuba lately. No prairies around there but the species is known in Cuba. Another possiblity: palm warbler....but there is quite a bit of yellow showing. Any id help appreciated.

Looks like a Palm Warbler to me Steve, note the long pale superciliumm and the streaked whitish belly. The Prairie Warblers belly would be mostly yellow with dark streaks just under the wings.

Mia's got it: Palm Warbler. brownish crown with white supercilium, heavy streaking, yellowest on undertail.
