Tropical Parula (Setophaga pitiayumi), Ramsey Canyon, Cochise County

This Tropical Parula was found by Michael and Corinne Schall on 9 June 2018 and photographed by Michael Schall on the same date, by Andrew Core on 11 June 2018 and by Ryan O'Donnell on 23 June 2018

Seven previous state records all between late May and early July.

Similar to a Northern Parula but shows a blue head with black lores, lacking white eye arcs and has a yellow malar. More extensively yellow on the underparts than a Northern with an orange chest.
