Thanks Toe. On another bird board, the majority seemed to lean towards yellow-rumped, but there were two fairly convincing posters noting cape may as a possibility...with similar reasons you mentioned. The yellow-rumped group argued that the tail was too long for Cape May, the bill too thick, and that there appears to be a faint double wing bar making yellow-rumped more likely. So far, I've got 4 yellow-rumped votes and 3 Cape May, including yours.
