  I took this picture a few weeks ago in Modesto, California while visiting family.  I only saw it once.  It is small, Wren-like.  Did not see it at the feeder.  What might it be?  Colors appeared to be gray back, whlte and gray under, yellow on chin with small amount on top of head.  Sorry for the photo, I had to crop is a bit and blow it up to see it better.

Yellow-rumped warbler.

Yep, Yellow-rumped Warbler, not seen in the picture but was probably some yellow on rump (lower back) as well.
