Warbler ID help

[JW Mills]

We found this bird at Point Pelee on May 15 of this year.
I no longer have an account with a photo hosting site so I am including a link to the photos in eBird.

The bill size, overall shape (profile), faint wing bars, faint eye line and je ne sais quoi
makes me think of juvenile Pine warbler. Oh my, I just realized that you made me think.
Nice move, you tricked me into thinking.

Thanks for the ID, but I'm a little confused. We saw this bird in mid-May and I don't recall seeing juveniles at that time of year.

Juveniles can look like females but cleaner.
I photographed juvenile Golden-crowned Kinglets in April.
They also looked a little moth-eaten and rough, with spotting
and blotching.

Isn't that eye-ring too big for a Pine? How about a female Bay-breasted that hasn't fully molted yet in its breeding plumage?

[Shortsighted]

Bay-breasted eye-ring?
Sure, why not. It's blurred enough that
I don't know what I'm looking at. I've
only seen Bay-breasted females a few
times and they can easily fool me, as
can the lid on some containers.

I'm pretty sure it's an immature female Pine Warbler, they can be drab even in May, see the picture taken May 11 in the link below.
