Are these Wilson's? The eye-ring and the under tail pattern in the second photo seem to point to Wilson's, but no black cap on either bird. There are more shots if needed. Photos compliments of fellow Whatbirder Snick from an outing a couple of days ago near Moutain view, CA.

I believe this is something other than a Wilson, the males have a distinct black cap on their heads, but lack those dark and white wingbars.

I posted a bird that looked just like this here a while ago (from a similar location, too (sunnyvale baylands)) and people told me it was a yellow warbler.

I think it's safe to call these both Yellow Warblers.
New Year's Resolutions:
Get my lifelist to 300 (at the time of the original writing-293, currently-294)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
Top my previous single year best (2011-253) I'm at 210 as of 6/11.
