You should put together a guidebook of your own.

I learn better visually such as viewing a real photograph like the one you have here and remember better than when I look at the guide books. The yellow-rumps are a very neat warbler, too, and I feel they are fairly “unafraid/shy” of humans as I’ve seen quite a few of them at Yellow Creek, Geneva Marsh in the woods, and Cris Hamilton photographed one at Crooked Creek when her, Bobby, and I were walking on the fitness trail. Easier to id in winter with that yellow rump!! (In spring/summer/fall they seem to have more blue and yellow on other wing parts, too.)
