I'm going to side with pine warbler for now, despite the apparent parula-like yellow area.

For me the pine warbler features are extended dark eye-line, the fact the yellow does not go up the throat, and maybe the longer tail which seems much longer than a parula which looks more stumpy. Perhaps the bill is too long for parula too.
 
extra photos

will these help? now that the parula has been put into the mix I'm thinking along those lines having reviewed the extra photos more carefully. i also checked the e-bird site and pine has not been seen in that areas since October while parula was seen within the last 7 days.

Parula for sure on the new pics...goes to show how misleading lighting can be. Those 3 are all undoubtedly parula, you picked the most confusing one for the main post :)
