The Masked Yellowthroat is a small bird that is often seen foraging around the banks of streams or other water bodies.

It has bright yellow underparts with olive upperparts and a plumbeous crown.  The male has a noticeable black mask over his eye.

The female has less contrast and is without the crown or mask but she has a white border around her eyes. The photo above is of a female
