I live in Dover, PA. I have logged 57 species of birds from my property through 35 years. Yesterday a new bird landed 3' away from me while sitting on my deck. I at first thought it was a Carolina Wren which I have two around. In searching the web for warblers I came across two that look like it but for the head coloring. The Mourning Warbler and Connecticut Warbler look like the bird I saw but it had a brown head. The breast was a bright yellow and I think it had some dark brown around the eye. It was only there for maybe 10 seconds and I didn't have my camera. Hope to see it again when I have my camera.
Thanks for any help. Mike
 
Sorry, w/o a pic it is tough for me to figure out.

How about a Juvenile Mourning or Connecticut Warbler, These can often have a brownish head.
