Non-breeding Audubon's adult female - check out the yellow throat.

Although thinking about it, nothing I can gather is specifically ruling out a non-breeding male or a 1st year (throat can be yellow). The breast-streaking just said female to me B :) (I know, I should do stand-up).

Very much an Audubon's, though.
 
Nice pics,
Keep watching all the Yellow-rumpeds, Myrtles are regular in S. Arizona in migration and in winter. Look especially for a lack of yellow in the throat and a nice white supercilium.
