Do Kentucky warblers sometimes have a full black mask? (1 Viewer)

I saw an unusual bird today that was momentarily stunned after flying into a window.

The closest match I can find in the bird field guide is a Kentucky warbler, but it is not an exact match.

The bird was olive green on top, bright yellow on bottom, and had a pure black mask.

It differed from all the photos I've seen of Kentucky warblers in that it did not have the yellow spectacles.

Is there any other species it could have been?

How about a Common Yellowthroat?

Agreed most likely yellowthroat

That's it.

I looked on google images and can confirm it was a yellowthroat..

The particular bird guide I was looking at threw me off because in that photo the top looked brown rather than green.
