Help with some ID's

I saw these birds today at the South Mountain Reservation in Essex County, NJ. I'm thinking blue headed and maybe yellow throated vireo, but I'm not certain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a Northern Parula and a Yellow-throated Vireo

Note the orange feet on the warbler. Vireos have blue feet.

Vireos have blue feet.
Boy, I haven't read that in a LONG time!
And still can't see it myself...

You can't see that bird has yellow feet or you can't see that vireos have blueish grey ones?

That vireos have bluish ones. They most often look black or dark gray to me. Less than one in ten appear to have a bluish sheen to me. Photos or field, no difference.
It's not like that's the only field mark. I just rely on others.
