Why isn't it an immature male Common Yellowthroat?

Alex,I am looking at this photo and I don't see any white around the eye. Obviously Kimball will look at your photo and correct me but could this possibly be a Tropical? Or is it just an artifact of how the photo came out?

Hello,
Today, I photographed what appears to be a Northern Parula at Valhalla Memorial Park in Burbank. The bird was very active and rather shy. I found it near the rose garden by the Portal of the Folded Wings.I'm including my eBird list from today with the enclosed photo of the Parula:https://ebird.org/checklist/S276183165
You may also see my photo of this bird on my Flickr page:https://flic.kr/p/2rw5vjr
Also, in the park, I photographed a Red-tailed Hawk with a captured Rock Pigeon (I think it was a pigeon). I was a bit surprised to see that.
Kind regards,Alexander ViduetskyValley Village, CA
