Northern Parulas have a distinctive blue-gray back with a green patch and a yellow throat, while Bay-breasted Warblers in breeding plumage exhibit a rich chestnut color on the flanks and crown. Habitat can also be a clue, as Northern Parulas are often found in deciduous forests, whereas Bay-breasted Warblers prefer boreal coniferous forests.
