I took these pictures last year and still can't settle on an ID.  Guidance please.

I think your bird is a Cape May warbler (female). Sometimes females show
a little dusty yellow on the breast or flank while the rest of the bird is a drab
gray. I believe this species shows quite a bit of variation in colour intensity
but the strong streaking is characteristic of all Cape May warblers regardless
of gender and stage of development.
