Yellow bird

I heard this bird singing and had to stop. I have never seen one so hopefully someone can help with identification.
I just like the way the yellow bird looks with his mask.
Canon T5i Sigma 150 t0 600C @ 600. Shot from my car using the window and piece of pipe insulation as a tripod.
F8 1/200 ISO 800 Aperture priority.
I have a lot to learn and comments are more than welcome.
Thanks for looking.
Brian

Looks like a Common Yellowthroat. Good job with the diagonal perch, pose, and background.

As David said, a Common Yellowthroat. Nice photo. I wish you had posted a larger version; it's difficult to assess photo quality with the smaller size.

Very nice composition, Brian, and a nice singing pose. The exposure on the bird looks very good as does the detail at this scale. David and Jim have the ID. They're pretty common in brushy areas near water.
