Identification: Flight fast and sweeping through foliage; over longer stretches thrush-like, in long, shallow undulations.

  • Adult ♂: Unmistakable, bright yellow with black wings and black tail and reddish bill. Lores and tertials black. ♀/1st summer ♂/ juvenile: Green above off-white with fine streaking below. Variable amount of yellowish-green or yellow on flanks and belly. (Note that occasional ad. ♀♀ can be very yellow and unstreaked below, and hard to separate from ad. ♂ in field, but have dark grey lores and partially olive tertials and central tail-feathers.)
