i'd go Olive-Tree Warbler myself. Long stout bill, wing panels, short / thin supercilium, all look good.
 
You can make out p1 which is longer than the primary coverts - would be distinctly shorter in Olive-tree... so it's an Eastern Olivaceous
Pale wing panel and pale fringes, as well as that heavy bill all would have me still on Olive-Tree. I'd not say that bill was in any way narrow.
