Maybe-Parula in Huntington, VT ? (1 Viewer)

Struggling to identify this bird. Saw in at the top of a lonely tree in a hay field, but it was backlit and we didn't have binoculars so field marks are limited. Here's what we've got:

• prominent black mark on chest
• drab olive/yellow/green color (blended into green leaves)
• _maybe_ white mask over eyes
• got a clear audio clip of it's call (link here)

Our best guess so far is a Northern Parula, but we haven't found a song that's an exact match....

That is a Savannah Sparrow.
