Hello all!

I went out try and catch some migrating warblers but I don't think I found any. Below are three birds I am not sure about and would love some pointers. These images where taken 8.20.12 at Cromwell Valley Park in Baltimore County, Maryland.

Fledgling House Wren?

Really Not Sure But Flycatcher, I'd Say Least But It Has No Contrast Between Neck And Head

I Was Thinking Yellow-sided Warbler but there is no evidence of any eye-ring.

1. juvenile carolina wren
2. chesnut sided warbler
3. Eastern pheobe

The first bird is a fledgling House Wren -- a Carolina would have a distinct pale supercilium and a clear distinction between the back and the breast.

Ok, I can see the Chestnut-sided Warbler, but the Eastern Phoebe I am having trouble with. In my pictures I see a very distinct yellow peanut shape under the wing instead of a yellow wash. I also do not see any evidence of the white neck I am expecting. What am I missing?

PS: Funny how I got the flycatcher and the warbler backwards and both species wrong. Not a good sign!
