Boy, after seeing the Macgillivray's in Highlands, NJ yesterday and seeing the
photos of this bird, I can see the similarities for sure. But the
MacGillivray's did not have those light edgings as Shai notes and seemed a
little brighter overall and the throat seemed different too. I'd lean towards
an Orange-crowned, but you can really see they'd be confusing in this instance.
I've never seen an Orange-crowned like this one.

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.

Dear All,
I have posted the original images on flicker. 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.

César
Una tarde la princesa vio una estrella aparecer; la princesa era traviesa y
la quiso ir a coger.
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. Son así.
-A Margarita Debayle (To Margarita Debayle) by Ruben Dario
