Magnolia warbler.
Still eager for the spring migration.
In the meantime here's a male magnolia warbler decked out in breeding plumage.
Setophaga magnolia
The name of the species was coined in 1810 by Alexander Wilson, who collected a specimen from a magnolia tree in Mississippi. He actually used the English name "Black-and-yellow Warbler" and used "magnolia" for the Latin species name, which became the common name over time.
