The other morning I was birding at Herrick's cove and got several
varieties of warbler all in the same spot near the parking area.
There's one in particular that, after doing a bit of research I
suspect is a Fall Tennessee Warbler:

I'm looking specifically at a few things: the very weak line through
the eye; the patch of white on underside of the tail; the lack of any
spotting on the chest; the black legs and black beak; the darker
wings than rest of body. I went through the Peterson's warbler guide
and just can't find anything else that matches.
Also some very nice looks at a Chestnut-Sided Warbler:

and a Northern Parula:

I found all three of these birds in the same tree at once. I
couldn't get two of them in focus at the same time, so I used
photoshop to merge two of the photos together, giving clear looks at
the Parula and the possible Tennessee, but still with the
Chestnut-Sided out of focus:

Any advice on the mystery bird would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
