I was here for over 40 minutes and only saw the bird once for about a minute. It mostly stayed hidden in the leaves and behind flowers. Brief open looks showed a yellow face with a dark eyeline that was slightly wider/more prominent than a nearby Orange-crowned Warbler. The throat, chest, and belly were yellow and the undertail coverts were long and white. The crown looked greenish. I do not recall seeing the back. The bill was basically thin and pointed."
