Well, it's down to two and I can't be sure about either.  That it is a warbler I have no doubt.  Yellow-rumped is a common warbler that has many of those characteristics.  I can't quite tell about the wing as it it disappearing in the picture.  Do you recall if the primaries had a bluish complexion?  The other possibility is Palm warbler.  I'll leave it for the experts to determine.

I don't recall any bluish colour on the bird.  I certainly see the similarities when I look up the two birds you suggest.  I'll wait and see if anyone else has an opinion.  Thank you for your help - much appreciated.

I haven't checked my guides, but Palm warbler was the 1st thing to come to mind.
