Well, with that thin, sharp beak, it's gotta be a warbler, probably a funny looking Tennessee.

A yellow-rumped with weakly (almost un-) developed dark pigment?

Thanks for your input. It does look like the female redstart in "Warblers" Peterson Field Guides, except that the back of the head of this bird is much lighter, but I accept the identification. Thanks again.

But I agree that this is an American Redstart, and there's nothing particularly odd about it. It looks to me as though the camera is overexposing it to a certain degree, causing it to appear paler in certain areas than it should ... just another example of the pitfalls of identifying based on a single image.
