Yellow-breasted Chat (Icteria virens)

It features a bright yellow throat and breast, a olive-brown/green back, a relatively thick bill, and distinct white "spectacles" around the eyes. It is well known for its "skulking" habits, often hiding deeply within thickets, brush, and shrubby areas. During the breeding season, males will perch conspicuously to belt out a loud, chaotic stream of mimicking whistles, chuckles, cackles, and mews.
