Never got to see the front of this one and it doesn't quite compare with the photos I have of the Palm.

Hi KC,

I don't think it's a Palm Warbler as there would be a lot of yellow showing around the tail. It is rather greenish, though...what about Tennessee?

I'll tentatively suggest "world's dingiest Prairie Warbler." Or perhaps I'm hallucinating to see a hint of chestnut color on the back...

Hi KC,

The brownish tones to the upperparts, the lack of streaking anywhere, the darkish face with paler eye-ringed look, the white wingbars, the dull, diffuse edged tertials, and the reasonably short primary projection seem like a good fit for a Pine Warbler to me.

Pine -yes that is my suggestion as well - for the same reasons made by Chris.
