Looking for input - I am trying to produce an accurate bird count for Eva at Green Cay while she is having fun in S. America. This count was done at sunset, so the light was not my friend :)

1) Medium sized warbler with white underside, dark tail with no color underneath, white and black stripe through eye, and fairly bright yellow bib/throat area - no distinct wingbars, not too active, no tail bobbing. Looks like a Tennessee in my field guides - what else should I look at?

2) Sandpiper - looks a lot like a Solitary, but it bobbed like crazy, wagging the tail almost constantly. Possible Spotted? Anything else?

The trip was fairly productive in terms of warblers - several Redstarts, many Palms, another Chestnut-sided. Also the Sora are becoming more visible and I spotted Snipe and another Swamphen there over the weekend (immature).

Thanks for any help you can give!!
