I'll take a stab at this one...I don't have a field guide handy, but this looks like an especially plain Orange Crowned Warbler. Could be a female of another species I'm not as familiar with though, so wait for more opinions.

Why not Tennessee Warbler, Billy? Doesn't look "warm" enough for Orange-crowned.

[Kryptos18]

Not seeing much demarcation in the face, and colors aren't really yellow enough for female Tennessee. Agree with Orange-crowned.

The vague streaking below says Orange-crowned, as does the yellow undertail coverts visible in the first shot.

[TheBillyPilgrim]

I was leaning Orange Crowned based on the streaking, Liam. I definitely agree its very plain colored, but part of that could be the photo too.

I agree with Orange-crowned.
