Fall warblers are not easy and I don't even know if this is one. There were Red-Eyed Vireos in and out of this same bush, but I am thinking this a fall Tennesee? Not sure what a juvenile Vireo looks like. Maybe something else? Help please. Thanks.
What kind of Warbler?

Bryan - my guess would be a Warbling (or Bell's ?) Vireo.
Where there any wing bars? Do you have another frame that shows the side of the bird?

My best guess based on the face pattern and the "vireo" bill is that this is a warbling vireo.
Thanks Jeff, I was looking at the bill and thinking it looked more Vireo. Here another side view shot. I am thinking without wing bars it is probably a Warbling Vireo?
Yes, this sure looks like a Warbling Vireo. The tiny hook at the tip of the bill clinches it to be from the vireo family, and the Warbling Vireos have a bit more yellow wash on the sides in the fall (like you have here).
