Audubon's Warbler?

Spotted Beacon Hill Park, Victoria. 11:30am April 17. I don't think it's a Yellow Rumped Warbler due to the yellow chin. Is it perhaps a Audubon's Warbler? And are these considered a subspecies of Black-Throated Gray Warblers? Its mention in my guide is somewhat vague.

I apologize for poor quality images.

Looks like an Audubon's Yellow-rumped Warbler. Audubon's (Western population) has the yellow throat and crown, where as Myrtle (Eastern) has the white throat.

And to clarify, "Audubon's" and "Myrtle" are currently considered subspecies of Yellow-rumped Warbler. "Audubon's" Warblers, as you figured out, has a yellow throat, while "Myrtle" Warblers have a white throat.

Good birding,
