The black-polled yellowthroat (Geothlypis speciosa) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae.
It is endemic to central Mexico and the southwestern Mexican Plateau, in Guanajuato, Michoacán, and México State.

The black-polled yellowthroat is 12.5-14 cm (4.9-5.5 inches) long and weighs 10–11.8 grams (0.35-0.42 ounces). The male is olive above and yellow below, with a black mask. The female is duller.
The common yellowthroat is a New World warbler. In the U.S. Midwest, it is also known as the yellow bandit. It is an abundant breeder in North America, ranging from southern Canada to central Mexico. The genus name Geothlypis is from Ancient Greek geo, "ground", and thlupis, an unidentified small bird; thlypis is often used in the scientific names of New World warblers. The specific trichas is also from Greek; trikhas is a kind of thrush, the word being derived from trikhos, "hair".
The mourning warbler is a small songbird of the New World warbler family. Mourning warblers are native to eastern and central North America as well as some countries in Central America. They are neotropical migrants and tend to be found in dense second growth forests. They are under the Wood-warbler category, which consists of arboreal and terrestrial colorful passerines. Wood warblers are in the order Passeriformes, which are perching birds including more than half of all bird species, and the family Parulidae which also includes the Common Yellowthroat, Black and White Warbler, Nashville Warbler, ovenbird, and American Redstart. They are very similar to the MacGillivray's Warbler in appearance, especially in females and immature birds, but their breeding range does not overlap into the west.
