It is always dificult with just a single photo, but I get a feel of Vireo for no 5, Yellow-green or Red-eye depending on how much the yellow underside is caused by reflections from the leaves.

I am buying the Greenish Elaenia for this one.

Edit: I should have added that especially the second of the new images helped me.
