Rara Avis

I saw a greenish-yellow bird feasting on Autumn Olive fruits this weekend. I was unable to identify it using Peterson’s bird book. It was quite fearless but I was unable to get a close up shot. The color balance is close but not perfect and the predominant feature was this bird’s color.

If you have an idea what this could be please leave a comment. The Peterson’s guide does not have enough color plates and I am stumped!
