Dear Cobirders,
On Friday 10/21, I came upon a mixed warbler flock in NE Boulder comprised of mainly Yellow-rumps, but also a Nashville and what seemed at the time very likely a Pine. I took some absolutely horrible out-of-focus photos with the compact camera I had with me, but they do show some useful markings, I think. I would very much appreciate some comments (if even possible with the poor quality) eliminating or in support of Pine Warbler as the ID.

Markings I noted in person, some of which are evident in the photos despite the blurry focus:
Bright yellow throat and breast
Olive steaks on flanks, more pronounced than on typical orange crowned
White undertail coverts
Whitish belly
Distinct white wing bars
Dark wings, contrasting with olive green back and rump
Sharp contrast between darkish auriculars and throat
Yellow eye-ring
Dark between base of bill and eyes
