Yellow warbler female, or something else? S.E. Florida (1 Viewer)

Got this bird today out in the pond apple trees along the levee of a wetland pond - when I first saw the color I thought it was a female painted bunting - but it was way too yellow. The wings weren't right for pine warbler, and bill was too thin for orange crowned - so the only thing I could come up with in the field was yellow warbler (which I've never seen in person). In looking up online, yellow warblers look a little more round-headed - but that could be because this one's head is lifted it may look thinner. So any ID help or confirm appreciated!

Thank you Ken. That's the direction I was leaning, but not having seen one in person before, I wasn't 100% confident. Happy to confirm it is - as that's another lifer for me, at least in the U.S. (I spotted one once in Costa Rica 10-12 years ago).
