I have to concur with Mark... I didn't notice it in the field, but his pics clearly show streaking. This is my first CO "Hooded Warbler", but I'm very familiar with them from back east, and I can't say I ever recall seeing any breast streaking. Every Google image also shows a completely clear breast and sides.
The song (here if you'd like to hear it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=679kn3hD2CQ) sounds like pure Hooded to me; that's how I found it in the first place. To all of you that got a "life bird" yesterday... sorry!
