Pine Warbler? Toronto, Ontario, Canada (1 Viewer)

I believe this one's a Pine Warbler, but hoping for some confirmation or correction.

Thanks, all.

Pine does not have back streaks. It's Blackpoll, note the yellow feet and breast streaks, which separate it from Bay-breasted.

It's not a Pine Warbler but having never seen a Blackpoll, I would go with qwerty cause he knows the birds

Thank you both! That's a lifer for me. I didn't even clue into the back streaks.

Not doubting the id but noting the only feet-like things I can see in these images are black. I can't see them in the first picture (against the light). Those in the 2nd are just above and to right of yew berry. They are black...

I wonder if what looks like streaking in the first photo is just disturbed feathers. I get more of a Bay-breasted feel from this bird.

Somehow the bird in the first photo (Blackpoll for me) looks different from the one in the last photo (Bay-breasted). I agree that the middle two photos show dark feet.

The yellow feet I see are in the first pic, here's a zoomed in screenshot:

I too am wondering whether these pictures are all of the same bird.

On the last bird, I'm seeing contrast between the whiter undertail coverts and the duller belly, which indicates Blackpoll.

Many thanks for everyone's input! Here's another photo of the one in the yew tree which seems to clearly show dark feet - Bay-breasted?

It appears to be a different bird than photos 1 & 4 above, but dark feet don't necessarily mean Bay-breasted. Blackpoll can have dark feet in the fall (though the soles are always yellow). The white undertail coverts contrasting with the duller flanks and belly make me lean towards Blackpoll for this one as well.

Congrats on your lifer
