  Olive Warbler
The Olive Warbler (left) is a small passerine that is primarily resident in pine-oak forests of mountains from southeastern Arizona to Nicaragua.
DNA-DNA hybridization (e.g., Sibley and Ahlquist 1990) suggested that it was a sister group to fringillid finches — not a warbler at all.
It now appears that the Olive Warbler is a relict of a New World expansion of the accentors, left behind after the last Ice Age, just as the Wrentit Chamaea fasciata is a relict babbler, the only one in the New World.

 Wood Warblers
Yellow-rumped Warblers, hardy little birds that arrive to spend the winter throughout the lowlands of the Southwest, are sometimes common along rivers and in dense mesquite bosques in the desert.
Wilson’s and Orange-crowned Warbler nests are on the ground; the others make their nests in forks or on horizontal branches of trees and shrubs.
Lucy’s Warbler is one of only two members of the family to nest in holes in trees; it also sometimes builds its nest behind a piece of loose bark.

 Prothonotary Warbler
The belly is yellowish white and the flanks are grayish olive.
Prothonotary Warblers are frequently parasitized by the Brown-headed Cowbird.
These warblers may be declining in some areas due to the combined effects of parasitism, habitat destruction, and competition with other species for nest sites.

 Birding in Cincinnati - The Cincinnati Warb;er
In his description of the Cincinnati Warbler, Langdon wrote that Dr. Elliott Coues, who examined the specimen on Langdon’s behalf, believed "its relations are mainly with Helminthophaga pinus [Blue-Winged Warbler], although in the concealed fl of vertex and auriculars it slightly resembles certain plumages of Oporornis formosa," or Kentucky Warbler.
If it were encountered today, the Cincinnati Warbler’s fl auricular patch, which looks like it has been cut right off the head of a Kentucky Warbler, and the mix-and-match Kentucky and Blue-winged Warbler characteristics clearly would mark this bird as some kind of a hybrid, not a new species.
Kentucky Warbler was all but ruled out, in large part because in 1948, there were only three records of that warbler in Michigan, while Mourning Warbler was known to breed just north of the location where the Michigan warbler was collected.

 New World warbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Olive Warbler, however would be removed from the group as the only member of the separate subfamily Peucedramimae.
The New World warblers are closely related to the tanagers, and some species like the conebills Conirostrum and the Bananaquit have been placed into either group by different authorities.

 Population and Habitat
Human population growth and sprawl are major causes of songbird decline in the U.S. The decline of neotropical migrant song birds in the U.S. was first noticed by birders in Washington, D.C.'s Rock Creek Park, a small federally-protected enclave nestled along a stream bed in Washington, D.C., just 15 miles from Fairfax County.
In the end, a single cowbird may prevent 20 to 30 warblers, finches and vireos from raising their young.
If the bird species has a short nesting period, it may not be able to hatch out a second brood that year, in which case that species may fall off rapidly in that area over a relatively short period of time.

 Bird Quiz Answer 10 ~ American Birding Association
And we are dealing with a warbler that is mostly gray, which certainly narrows the field.
Except that Olive Warblers usually have a fairly broad white mark at the base of the primaries (like a Black-throated Blue Warbler) and then there's that flank streaking that is lacking in Olive Warblers.
But, again, a Black-throated Gray Warbler without streaking on the mantle and without any dark streaks on the scapulars should appear browner than our bird on the mantle (being immature) and the streaking on the flanks would probably average less prominent for such a bird.

 Mourning Warbler

 Bird Quiz Answer 4 ~ American Birding Association
An Olive Warbler, which now isn't thought to be a warbler at all, is rather similarly colored.
The Olive Warbler would not have as broad white tertial edges as our bird, and the olive-yellow coloration on the head also extends too far onto the mantle for that species.
Typically, Pine Grosbeaks have at least some yellow (or olive or russet) coloration on the uppertail coverts, particularly on a bird where the yellow coloration on the head extends this far onto the mantle.

This difficult warbler is probably responsible for more false alarms than actual 'solid' observations.
Once I was convinced that the behaviour was good for Upcher's, I moved in to take some plumage details noticing especially how thick and full the tail appeared, with notable white outers and tips to the tail feathers.
Especially notable were the neat pale fringes to the longest tertial and the secondries forming a distinct, crisp wing panel contrasting with the grey upperparts.

 Olive Warbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Olive Warbler, Peucedramus taeniatus, is a small passerine bird, the only member of the family Peucedramidae.
It was in the past classed with the Parulidae (New World warblers), but DNA studies suggest that it split early from the other related passerines, prior to the differentiation of the entire New World warbler/American sparrow/Icterid group.
It is therefore now given a family of its own.
