Black-whiskered Vireo or warbler ID? Fort Taylor, Key West Friday

I am not sure if this is a vireo or warbler. Thank you! Breanna

Fairly thin, straight bill (no hook at tip) rules out all vireos. Short-tailed warbler, no obvious underpart streaking, prominent whitish supercilium over dark eye line, apparently slate bluish crown all point to Tennessee Warbler.

Agree with Tennessee and, after 15 yr in Mefiz have a bit of experience with the species (they're seemingly all you hear for a couple of weeks in the psring).
