Cape May Warbler (Setophaga tigrina) [XC182791]
     by Martin St-Michel from Les \u00c9boulements, Charlevoix, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada (song)

     by Mike Nelson from Sharp's Ridge Memorial Park, Knoxville, Tennessee, United States (song)

Subspecies
No subspecies.

May be most closely related to Blackpoll Warbler (Setophaga striata) and Bay-breasted Warbler (Setophaga castanea), but precise relationships unclear. Hybridization with Black-throated Blue Warbler (Setophaga caerulescens) reported. Reported hybrid between Blackpoll Warbler (Setophaga striata) and Seiurus noveboracensis now thought probably to have involved Cape May Warbler (Setophaga tigrina), rather than Blackpoll Warbler (Setophaga striata). Bird described in early 19th century as Helinaia carbonata ("Carbonated Warbler") may have been a hybrid of this species with Blackpoll Warbler (Setophaga striata), but generally considered to be a first-summer male of Cape May Warbler (Setophaga tigrina).
