American Redstart ♂ ... Setophaga ruticilla
The Latin word Setophaga means 'moth eater' and ruticilla means 'red tail', so, what we have here is a red tailed moth eater. Definitely more dark orange than red, though, in my opinion. Trying to get these guys to stand still for a shot takes a lot of time and a little bit of patience.
