Eric,
Thanks for your views on the ID of this difficult bird (to me at least). I have re-examined all my relevant photos & compared them  to your photo of Olivaceous (it helps me a lot). As you pointed out correctly, the bird in my photos got a longer & darker supercilium, a smaller bill than a Olivaceous, so it was a Booted Warbler indeed. Thanks again.   

Paul

This amazing little bird built its nest in a very professional way! When it returned to the nest, it didn't simply jumped in. It spent a lot of time on touching up around the critical connection point between the tree branch & the nest. When it felt the nest was safe enough, it then entered the nest & enjoy!
