Wilson's Warbler?

Not sure where exactly Leta, La Union is in Ecuador, but your bird looks very much to be a Black-crested Warbler.

Wilson's Warbler is a mega rarity in S America - not expected S of Costa Rica and westernmost Panamá.

Wasn't totally sure, looks a bit big with the black crown being the wrong shape too.
