Looks like a very pale Northern Mockingbird. Looks very different from typical Mockingbirds. Have been seeing this bird for several months.

Identification is for the bird that laid the egg, which ended up in the shallow lake water. I thought perhaps a quail or seagull? These tadpoles were nibbling the egg in a feeding frenzy.

Setophaga Warblers (Genus Setophaga)Observer
kyle_paulDescription
This bird appears to be a Yellow-throated Warbler x Pine Warbler hybrid. (Setophaga dominica x pinus) Found in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Feedback received from "ABA What's This Bird" and "Bird Hybrids of North America" group, as well as local input from experienced birders.
The features indicating hybrid include the dull overall coloration, shallow extension of yellow on the throat, discernible upper eye arc (may be a product of a duller white eyebrow than typical YTWA), yellowish feet and a brown back. Generally, bottom view is strongly YTWA while topside is PIWA.
Breeding range overlap is also appropriate for these two species, including within Florida. This pairing seems to fit best when compared with other viable options. No traits seem to fit for previously known YTWA hybrids (YTWA x NOPA and YTWA x YRWA).
This appears to be the first documented occurrence of this pairing.
I am definitely interested in other feedback or suggestions.
