Warbler? NH on CT River

This bird was flitting around in the top of a tree. I managed to get two photos. I think it's a warbler as the bill seems to be too pointy for a vireo. Anybody have a guess what species?

I see a Warbling Vireo. Bill shape looks fine for some warbling vireos.

I guess you are right. Warbling Vireo was at the top of my list too, but my pics of that species show blunt bill tips.
