Wood-Warbler (?), Panama (1 Viewer)

Parulidae are another group of birds which give me headache, especially those winter north American tourists visiting the tropics :)
As an European with very limited experience in Americas, I wasn't even 100% sure that it was a wood-warbler at the time I saw it (my younger son spotted it, my first impression was a goldcrest :)). However after watching the pictures I think this is a female (immature?) Chestnut-sided (Setophaga pensylvanica). Am i right?

Location: edge of rainforest in Silico Creek, Ngabe-Bugle, north-western Panama, some 5-6 km away from the Caribbean Sea coast

Chestnut-sided, Wilson's and Black-throated Green were very common during our trip to next door, Cost Rica

Interesting Andy, on my recent trip we only saw one BT Green and we were in Monteverde area for 4+ days.

Chestnut-sided and Tennessee were by far most common, followed by Black-and-white and Wilson's. I guess Golden-winged came next, which was a lifer for me. I even saw a male Blue-winged, apparently fairly rare in Costa Rica.
