CLOSED: What warbler?

Rockport, TX(Zone 9a)

Saw this one very early this morning which is why the pictures are so awful. It was also a very fast and nervous bird. I'm leaning toward Canada Warbler b/c I think it does have a necklace, but could be Nashville or Connecticut. What do you think? There is one more picture coming.

Neither of these pictures does justice to the coloring of this bird -- very bright yellow throat and breast and very dark blue/gray top.

I cropped that first photo some more even though it was already cropped a ton. I believe that I see the yellow spectacles and the necklace of Canada Warbler -- pretty blurry though.

Yep, Canada Warbler, probably female.

Saw it again this morning. I was outside with my coffee. It landed only about 5 feet from me and we gave each other a good look over. It decided that I was OK and hung out with me for about 5 minutes before my dog came running by and scared it away. Definitely Canada Warbler and either female or juvi b/c the necklace and coloring were muted. Total joy for me to watch it. Hope it's here tomorrow too.
