Hello Butter-Butt
This cute little bird, affectionately called “Butter-Butt” by locals for obvious reasons, is the Yellow-Rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata), found in coastal North Carolina in fall and winter. Butter-Butts seem to look different depending on your viewing angle. There's yellow crown on the top of the head and spots in the shoulder area. The yellow rump is not always visible when its covered by the wings....
