After much thought I will venture a guess. A Magnolia Warbler. I can't see all of the tail so this is just a guess but it is my guess. Plus you didn't say where you saw this bird. I just assumed it was in the north.

Looks like a wet Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warbler. Under tail pattern looks right (wrong for Magnolia, which has a broad dark subterminal band, like this:

Myrtle:

Also seen in your image is a little bit of the yellow rump patch.

After looking through many volumes I agree that it is not a Magnolia however I cannot find one exactly like this one. the yellow under the tail is my problem. every yellow-rumped has white on the underside in all my illustrations. Now as I wish to stand corrected I believe the underside of this bird to just appear to be yellow and will come to a complete agreement with it being a yellow-rumped warbler. Excuse my old eyes.

Yes your right., I did notice the yellowish undertail feathers, not mentioning it, thought it might be a light effect.

I'm thinking either a magnolia or a myrtle. I have seen both, so I might go with a magnolia.

I would say also it is YR Warbler.Magnolia Warblers have bright yellow underparts

Notice the overall difference in fall Magnolia and Yellow-rumped, especially the pattern on the undertail:

I would also suggest there is way too much brown around the upper parts to be magnolia, whereas the brown fits nicely with fall yellow-rumped (myrtle).
