Magnolia Warbler dies

A song bird died in our yard, trapped in the tree house, so sad.
He seems to be a pine warbler. I can't tell the colouring apart from a yellow-throated vireo, but he doesn't seem to have a notched beak, and the song I heard in our yard this morning sounded more like a pine warbler (so it seems that these birds are around).

juvenile Magnolia Warbler is the corrected bird identification thanks to Anne Hobbs of Cornell University. http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Magnolia_Warbler_dtl.html
