Last of the warblers?

Saw this flitting about yesterday. It was tough to make out details as it was a silhouette against the bright sky most of the time. This is the only decent shot of this little leaf gleaner I managed. Not that great a photo, zoomed all the way in then a heavy crop. Could be a Northern Parula, but not sure of the ID just yet. Might be one of the last migrant warblers I see till next spring.

Not really familiar with the USA warblers, as I've not really seen many at all. I'm thinking by the eyeball, this bird looks like a Vireo to me Bill...Maybe White-eyed? Its worth posting in the Bird ID Forum, as theres some very talented boys & girls there, and I'm sure they'll nail it for you.

What a lovely picture... hope you're wrong and you'll still get some warblers coming through for a bit.

Don't think it's NP though, as the white round the eye should be two crescents, not a complete ring. Agree with Mali - pop along to the [COLOR="Blue"]ID forum[/COLOR] - never know you might have a new Lifer;)
 
A lovely pose, Bill, and I like the way it is framed by the branches.

This looks like a Blue-headed Vireo Bill. Nicely captured guy.

Well captured, Bill. Can't wait till we get back to your continent....
