This little bird was flitting around the upper deck of an Alaskan cruise ship I was on last week. I only had my cell phone camera at that moment so the pictures aren't very good. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Juvenile Yellow Warbler was my first impression also.

Best,

Another vote for Yellow Warbler, can't think off hand of another wood-warbler species with greenish upperparts, yellow underparts and no wingbars etc. Nice thin well-defined pale fringes to the very dark tertials also, structure also suits Yellow.

I wasn't thinking Yellow Warbler at first because it didn't seem yellow enough. However, comparing the photo to online photos of Yellows confirms it. Also, Yellow is one of only a handful of warbler species in Alaska.
Thanks everyone!
