It's a Black-throated Green Warbler alright, but I'm not sure about the age/sex (it's not a species I'm terribly familiar with, having glimpsed my first one last month on a visit to Minnesota).

Edit: Das Boot-a good movie!

The yellow throat has me thinking female, but not sure.

Best,

The worn primaries and tail with pointed tips + the moult contrast in the greater coverts, adult looking inners - a few worn brownish inners.
Looks perhaps good for a female BTG. Note the yellow vent spot - spot on for BTG.

It is a 2cy/first summer bird, I'd say female with that yellow throat.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately (or fortunately for me) this little bird flew into one of my windows and was banged up pretty hard. I took her off the floor and onto my deck where it wouldn't get eaten by snakes or racoons. I took a couple of "posed" pictures and it did fly off eventually.

Hello dasboot,

I agree with the warbler ID. Also, I volunteer at a local college near my home (Muhlenberg college) here in Pennsylvania doing inventory of their bird collection of over 2000 specimens from all over the world. The Ornithology Center is also doing a study on what you have here, window strikes by birds. I think that they would be appreciative if you would kindly report the incident to them. I will give you a link to both the ornithology center home page and also an online form.
