Wilson's Warbler, female (?) displaying

Tilden Park, Berkeley, Alameda Co

I saw this apparent display behavior by a female(?) Wilson's Warbler near Jewel Lake in Tilden Park; the bird held the position for several seconds while quivering its wings. Birds of North America Online reports, on the basis of literature to 1997, "no evidence of display behaviors, including pre- or postcopulatory displays." I believe I've seen female courtship behavior like this in other species.
