Help with ID of Wabler or other small bird (1 Viewer)

This AM in my Fruitless Malberry Trees that are surounded by Bamboo (yes thats it) here in DFW Texas I saw a little bird 3.5 to 4.5 inches that had a 1/2 inch straight beak, uniform Olive or Gray-Green uniform head and back configuration something like the connecticut Wabler without the front neck/throat plate. The only truly distingishing thing is that his tail feathers about 1 inch had two white horizontal strips seperated by the grey/dull green or Olive color. Keep in mind this is the color I saw with a 1 hour new sun with a bird that is in a tree with wide green leaves so the true color could have been greatly distorted. The underside was pale grey/whitish. I might have detected some yellow but very very faint. (Again I think a sun thing). Any ideas. Song was a metalic type of song, I cannot reproduce the sound in words.

I also noticed what could have been either a Brown Creeper or a Winter Wren (without Tail raised as should have been) Again the beak seemed long for the birds body size. Maybe 4-5 inches.

It was a very busy bird morning for me. Another species should up that I have not yet ID'ed but the angles could not provide enough data for anyone to help on him. To bad I could not get better looks at all three since I know I have not seen these birds in my yard before. They did not seem too bothered by me, but they did move around alot.

Thanks
