Bird identification from song, southeastern Pennsylvania (1 Viewer)

A friend of mine recorded this bird song this morning, high in a sycamore tree in southeastern Pennsylvania.

The consensus is that it is either a Northern Parula or a Cerulean Warbler.

I think it is a NOPA singing his alternate song. What do you think?

Northern Parula.

Thanks Falcon,

In the local discussion there are still a few holdouts in the Cerulean camp, but most are convinced that it is a Northern Parula.

Agree that it's most likely a parula.

Hopefully someone can get eyes on it and we can prove it.
