This warbler was singing loudly in a tree by a river. By the undertail it looks like an American Redstart. Any suggestions?

Would suggest it's a 1st summer male, so half way between immature and adult male plumages in many respects.

I agree that it's an immature male American Redstart and I just wanted to say that is a very lovely photograph of the little guy. Can even see the little hairs in his mouth.... I've never noticed that before.
