I took this lifer at Thickson Woods today.  I initially thought it was a Vireo.

Thanks Meghan.  I had the same shot without the open beak and I also preferred this pose.

Nice shot of a tough little bird to shoot.

So true. Two weeks ago I was at Marie Curtis park and the woodlot was filled with their 'spee' sound yet I had hard time getting a good shot at any of them.
