Fall Unknown Warblers

That time of year (Fall) when identifying migrating warblers becomes tough!

This gallery currently contains two sets of 'unidentified' warblers:
(1) The first two shots were taken at Magee Marsh in Ohio. I'm hoping to get someone willing to agree with me, or willing to tell me which warbler these two photos captured.
I don't intend to leave the 2nd photo on my website (not a good shot), but, it does show the coverts, under tail spots, throat streaks, and broken white eyeing.

(2) The second set of three shots were taken of a warbler feeding fairly high in a maple tree within 20 feet of the Elk River in Maryland. Here are features I observed:
- A large warbler with two white wing bars
- Tan-brown on top - head and body
- Vivid broken eyering with fine dark streak through it
- Pumps its short tail
- Dark legs
- White spots on under tail feathers
- Pale yellow under tail coverts

(3) The last two images are of the same individual just seconds between shots; I'd hoped to get one showing its two wing bars. Note the yellow on head and breast.
