Hi Cesar and all, Very cool-looking bird!
I think its overall shape (and particularly its very finely pointed bill) and manners suggest Orange-crowned Warbler. I also think that a MacGillivray's Warbler would show a thicker, blacker loral stripe. Finally, the whitish edges to the tips of the primaries are a typical feature of Orange-crowned Warbler, and one that I can't recall seeing on things like Mourning Warbler or Common Yellowthroat, whcih MacGillivray's would be expected to resemble.

I have not messed with the photos except in increasing their sharpness. I can see how this could be an orange-crowned warbler, however I remember seeing a grey hood that extended quite a bit, Carry Laben and I immediately thought Mourning W until we looked at the photos and thought MacGillivray's. Memory is fickle though when it comes to details, I don't tend to just trust mine without evidence. The hood, if it is real is most notable in the 2nd and 7th link below. Thank you all, it's too bad no one else has been able to see it. I attempted to find it on Monday morning, but there was active construction in the location where it was found, and most of the snow in the park had melted, giving this bird and all the other birds found in the same spot ample opportunity to find food elsewhere.

La quería para hacerla decorar un prendedor, con un verso y una perla, una pluma y una flor. Las princesas primorosas se parecen mucho a ti; cortan lirios, cortan rosas, cortan astros.
