Vireo Confusion in New Jersey, USA - 5/27/24 (1 Viewer)

To the wonderful members of bird forum,

Today I Saw a species of vireo singing high up in a sycamore tree. Sorry for the poor camera quality as my lens would not focus. It was singing very loud and cheerfully. Below are images and sounds of it I took, so if anyone could id this as a Warbling or Philadelphia Vireo that would be great although I am leaning more towards Warbling Vireo.
Thanks,
Shlundo

Pale lores and perhaps a weaker eyebrow, also looks more attenuated to my eye, thus I’ll go with Warbling….without listening to the soundtrack.😮
 
Thanks for your help with this ID, if you can listen to the soundtrack or call I have provided do you think it sounds like a Warbling Vireo to you? Thanks,
Shlundo
 
Having listened I’m a little confused, it sounds more like Philadelphia to my ear now.😮

Sorry, I now think a seasoned stateside birder would be a better judge.👍
 
Thank you all for your help, using some bird AI apps the theme of warbling video has been nearly steadfast. Also as it was found near water, being on the bank of a stream it leads be to believe it is a Warbling Vireo as well.
 
Definitely a Warbling Vireo. Also, Philadelphia Vireo would be extremely unlikely in New Jersey at this time of the year.
Thanks so much with the ID help! So Happy to see these migrants again in my yard and such. Have a great rest of your day and thanks again so much for all the help the people of this wonderful forum have provided.
Wishing you All the best,
Shlundo
 
Thanks for all your help with the ID for sound as well, happy to get more footage of these wonderful warbling videos I have stumbled upon!
