I'm going to say a Wilsonia warbler. Either Wilson's Warbler or Hooded Warbler. I can't make out any white in the tail so I'll go with Wilson's.
 
I appreciate your thoughts. The bird moved very, very quickly and was spotted in thick growth near the ground. I thought it was going to fly away, but it just left its perch and fluttered its wings in mid air and then disappeared into the bushes. I've observed and taken several photos of prothonotary warblers, so I can rule out that possibility, and I don't recall any white at all. I hope something here will help with the id. Many thanks,
pattianne

Pattianne,

The warblers appears to be a Wilson's Warbler.
