Roscoe's Yellow-throat
Sylvia rosco Aud. [now Geothlypis trichas Linnaeus]
Folio edition, plate 24
“Although Audubon had painted this species in April 1821, when he painted this bird the following September he did not recognize it as the same species. . . . Audubon’s misidentification of this bird was probably due to fall or immature plumage.”
