Peterson's Warblers and Kauffman's Guides would seem to imply that your
mystery bird is a Pine Warbler - a first fall female. There are bright wingbars,
so it isn't an Orange-crowned; there is, it seems, too much olive (and not
enough rust, perhaps) for a Bay-breasted; and it has no streaking for a
Blackpoll.
