Nashville Warbler

Vermivora ruficapilla

Alsop (418) writes that "the only North American warbler with a yellow throat, no wing bars, a white eye ring, and a blue-gray head" is the Nashville Warbler. This bird appears to have all four of those marks.

Lockwood & Freeman (169) write of the Nashville Warbler, "Uncommon to abundant migrant throughout most of the state, generally more common in fall than in spring." So the geography does not exclude it being a Nashville Warbler.

Compare this bird with the Mourning Warbler.

This is Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Nashville Warbler.
