    Tough bird ID

    Don't know if anyone can definitively say what this is, but give it your best shot:

    Saw it while at Shades State Park in central Indiana...   mostly just deciduous forest, with some stream running through it.

    I don't know... maybe a dark-eyed junco?

    It's got a yellow tint to it, some kind of Warbler? Maybe Pine or Wilson's or Nashville?

    I magnified the image as and saw the yellow chest with a white belly...could be a Yellow Throated Vireo.

    Yeah, my first impression was either a warbler or a vireo when I saw it.  Sorry about the poor quality picture -- it was way out of my camera's range (poor little 4x point and shoot).  Hopefully there will be a 10x+ camera in my near future.
