D is nonsensical according to me. It is not clear, what "Unlike .." has been compared to.
According to me in A, other species are properly likened to the blue winged warbler.
E also works but I am not sure of the usage "species of warbler", it should have been species of warblers.

I agree that A is incorrect but the reasoning according to me is different. There is a comparision issue ofcourse but the issue is with comparing 'Other Warbler species' to 'Male and Female..'. The comparision has to be b/w most warbler species to blue-winged warbler.
