Yellow-rumped Warblers are passerines in the family consisting of Wood Warblers. They are about 5-6 inches in size and weight about 12-13g. They have a yellow rump and side patch. Yellow-rumped Warblers are dichromatic which means that the males and females have differing plumages. During the breeding season, the males have a black mask and broken eye ring. They have a white throat along with white wing bars and underparts. Males also have a blue-gray crown, nape, back and wing coverts with black streaks during the breeding season. Females and males during the nonbreeding season still have the broken eye ring, white throat and wing bars, but the yellow side patch is indistinct to absent. Their head and back are brown to brownish-gray with black streaks on the back as well.
