Looks like a Yellow-rumped Warbler.

As Mike said, It's a Yellow Rumped Warbler. I wish he was turned to the left. Nice photo.

Wow, I think I might be getting th hang of warbler Id. I guessed Yellow-rumped. OK, just a lucky guess this time.

Nice shot. Showing the bird in its environment makes this for me.

Probably the most common warbler we see at Magee Marsh in the spring and I have yet to get a decent photo of one. This is really nice Robert! It's so hard to catch these guys out of the tangle here. I think you've done a decent job of making the habitat look as pleasing a possible.

Yep, definitely a 'butter-butt'.
