That last one almost looks like a Philadelphia -- the eyeline isn't all that pronounced, and I don't see any dark edging on the supercilium.

Thanks everyone - I am still a little torn on the 2nd Vireo as it struck me as a Red Eyed when I saw it, but I know both are similar to one another.

Here's another shot - the only reason I think it could be a Red Eyed was the contrast from the throat to the cheek - it looks more of a yellow-olive color contrasting with the white throat . I've lighted this photo up a little without over exposing it too much.
