Pastor's Al's guess would have been my second choice. They are showing up in the East now and a drab Pine Warbler is REALLY drab (also thick-billed, like a vireo) Warren

I received a number of good suggestions, but none completely fit the bird I observed. Thanks to all who responded and made me aware of the fact that I could have initially provided a more complete description of the bird. One good suggestion was Pastor Al Schirmacher's suggestion of a Pine Warbler. When I checked I could see that the first year bird was close, but with no supercilium. The other close suggestion was an Arctic Warbler from Tom Bell; however, I do not think the primaries extended that far and the supercilium was not that distinct. Other than that, it seems to be a perfect match. The wing bars were certainly a perfect match. I can live with not knowing what it was.
