I'm going out on a limb here either just to humiliate myself or to simply to buck the trend. I think this is a Bay-breasted Warbler. The facial pattern is really hard to read but I see some bright warm yellow in certain areas. The under tail is not white and shows some buffy tones. The breast has a warm yellow feel to it, not cool yellow in Blackpoll. The last photo reveals a buffy color on the flanks as well. Finally, the streaks on the back (if those are indeed streaks) eliminate Pine. Steven Lubahn Cudahy Milw. Co.
