Help with a background bird

Last weekend I was hiking outside of Vail, CO and shooting a yellow-rumped warbler. I noticed in two of the shots a bird in the background. Not the best pics since I wasn't focusing on it but hoping somebody might be able to tell what it is. Thanks!

Agree - Vail is comfortably outside the range of Eastern Warbling (east border of Colorado).

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot they spit them.

Thanks. That's a new one for me. I feel kind of guilty counting it. Obviously I saw it, but I was much more focused on the Warbler at the time....
