Is this a female Black-throated Blue Warbler? (1 Viewer)

This morning was such a fantastic and busy birding experience that some of my pics have lost all context. I think these might be female Black-throated Blue Warblers but I am in no way sure.

A confirmation or correction would be greatly appreciated.

It is a female BTBW - with white spot at the base of the primaries.
Pale throat, supercilium, pale 'half eye-ring' under the eye, pale yellowish undertail coverts and pattern on undertail - pale spots a little drabber than the white ones in the male.

Thanks all! I got good shots of the male already, but when I came across these pics this afternoon I was stumped.

Now I can label them correctly and file them away.
