Requesting your help again to ID this little one - one of the Warblers perhaps?? It's quite a dull day so lighting was not very good - would appreciate any help - thanks in advance

It's a blue-headed vireo.

A great little bird.

Cheers

In the second photo you can just see the tiny hook at the tip of the bill that someone on this board mentioned is a good mark for vireos.

Great photos! Wish mine were as good in the sun as these in the grey!

Thanks for the tip on the hook at the tip of the bill & the nice words.
