Thanks to all for the ID help. I’ll stick with Virginia’s Warbler. My main reason for doubting (and asking for help) was eBird’s flagging it as “Rare”.
the other suggestions folks have made didn’t quite fit. Kinglet didn’t have the yellow wash that I saw so clearly. Yellow-rumps didn’t have the complete eye-ring, and the breast on my bird had no streaking. Pine Warbler is even trickier. Any way thanks for all of your help!
