Its weight, averaging 6.1 g (0.22 oz) for females and 6.3 g (0.22 oz) for males and ranging from 4.5 to 7.8 g (0.16 to 0.28 oz), is similar to the 892: 358:, but frequently given family status, especially as recent research showed that, despite superficial similarities, the crests are taxonomically remote from the warblers.

This subspecies is medium-small, has a long bill, and has the back and rump bright yellowish-olive. 326:. It migrates to the United States in the non-breeding season. Some birds are permanent residents in coastal regions and in the southern parts of their range. Northern birds remain further north in winter than the 393:, breeding from coastal southeastern Alaska to southwestern Oregon, wintering to Idaho and southwestern California.

286:. It produces a series of high-pitched calls on a single note, and tends not to fear human approach. Its nest is a well-concealed hanging cup suspended from a conifer branch. 423:
Two other (non-migratory) subspecies occur south of the bird's core range, although these are weakly differentiated from each other and so are perhaps best synonymised:
