House Wren:
Yellow-rumped Warbler:
[I even have a mystery warbler. I remember it was yellowish and fairly drab. Here are the only pictures I got]. UPDATE: Thanks to Grant for identifying this warbler as a female American Redstart! I didn't see any males that day so it didn't even occur to me!

Howdee,
Cant help you out with the mystery warbler..I am curious to find out.
I liked the photo of its tail coming out from behind the tree!
The mystery bird is a female/1st year male American Redstart. The picture of the tail is the most important one, since the tail is the most obvious field mark on the bird. If you see a tail like that, which it often fans and flips about, then you know you've got a redstart.
@Grant- thanks for your input! Of course it is- that makes a lot of sense now. Sometimes I forget how considerably different the males and females are. I was hoping the shot of the tail would be a big help! Thanks Grant.
