Looks like a Northern Waterthrush, based on beige or "off-white" supercilium, throat spotting, lack of white underparts with buffy flank patch, smallish bill. Upon request, I have photos of a Louisiana Waterthrush from Central Park, New York City last April. The LOWA I photographed has a huge bill, very white supercilium, wider behind the eye and clean white underparts contrasting with a buffy flank patch. I recall that Cobirds does not permit photos to be attached. The friendly New York birders described the gait of the LOWA as a "sashay," noticeably different from the bobbing motion of the Northern Waterthrush. You could put the LOWA photos on your website, Robb, for comparison. I do not have a functioning website right now. Thanks for trying to get an image of that Brewster's Warbler! Bob and Bob show records of that hybrid warbler from 4/30/80 and 5/21-22/87, both from Colorado Springs State Wildlife Area, El Paso. I vaguely recall seeing one in the 90's in CO. When will CO get the more rare "Lawrence's" Warbler, also a Golden-winged x Blue-winged Warbler hybrid? Probably never.
