Canada, Alberta. Fall warbler (1 Viewer)

Hello,
I photographed this warbler today. Other warblers seen in close proximity included Yellow-Rumped (Myrtle), Blackpoll, Yellow, Tennessee, Orange-Crowned, and American Redstart. But this one does not quite look right for any of those. Other thoughts I had would be Palm Warbler. There is a good view of the tail, and it seems good for Palm,or Myrtle, but the bold dark streaking on the yellow chest don't seem to support either of those too well. So I am unsure what is the best call for this bird. Help.

I'm thinking Cape May

Yes, that seems best. It fits the face well, and the streaked breast. The dark line which seems to present at the base of the tail feathers doesn't seem to be expected, but it is possible that that darkness is something that has been created in the photograph of the the flying bird.
Thanks.

Molting undertail coverts could account for the large amount of dark at the base of the tail. The bird looks like a Cape May to me, down to the yellow underside of the feet.

Cape May for me as well. I've only seen one once but I'll never forget it.
