I saw this guy running around on the forest floor frantically turning dead leaves over as if he had lost something!

Any Idea on ID?

Larry will likely know definitely, but check on WEW

Agree on Worm-eating Warbler. In fact Sibley's states "specializes in probing hanging dead leaves" much like your noted behavior. Great find and nice image.

Of the four eastern warblers I've yet to see, this is likely my nemesis bird. Where did you see this? BTW, definitely a worm-eating warbler.

Cool! It was rummaging through the dead leaves on my farm in central MO
