SW Florida - warbler (1 Viewer)

Seen in mangroves near beach, between storms with very strong winds. It was overcast, so colors may be dulled / darkened.
It may just be a palm warbler, but I'm having trouble being sure. This storm was a big migration push and we are in the path for Swainson's. Like I said, I just can't be sure.

Thanks!

Looks very good for Swanson's to me too, but I've only ever seen one, and I'd like a better view here. Surely Palm's the only alternative, and bill shape, and face, and head shape look wrong for Palm to me ...but in a storm-swept Palm(?)... good to get other opinions too.

Thanks gang! New bird for me!
The bird may have been wet, which explains a bit of the worse for wear look. It was very windy, with storm squalls passing through.
