French: Paruline à gorge grise German: Augenring-Waldsänger Spanish: Reinita de Connecticut

Taxonomy: Sylvia agilis A. Wilson, 1812, Connecticut, USA.
Genus sometimes subsumed in Geothlypis. This species appears not particularly closely related to current congeners, and it has been suggested that it may merit placement in a monotypic genus. Reported hybrid with O. philadelphia generally considered to have been an aberrant individual of latter. Monotypic.

Distribution: Breeds in boreal zone of S Canada (from CE British Columbia E to SW Quebec) and N USA (N Minnesota E to N Michigan). Migrates to lowland South America from E Colombia and Venezuela S to N Bolivia and WC Brazil).
