An hour in Monarch Park this morning from 7-8AM found:
Black and white warblers
Blackburnian
Yellow rumped
Palm (running all over the grass, no less)
Black throated green
Nashville
Chestnut sided
Blackpoll
And one we can’t ID yet. Dark greyish throat, clear whitish breast, yellow above, longish song with distinct notes and a very raspy quality. We ruled out pine. Feel like I'm missing the obvious with this one.
 
Plus blue headed vireo; blue-grey gnatcatcher; chipping, white-throated and white-crowned sparrows; Northern flicker; migrating blue jays; and the usual stay-at-home brown creeper, mourning doves, robins and cardinals.

I'm not sure that either of these are a great fit for your description, but how about Ruby-crowned Kinglet or White-eyed Vireo?  The vireo fits a bit better, but is a much less common bird.

(Since you already listed Nashville Warbler, I'm assuming you eliminated that.)

hi Brian

thanks! I will check the song for the vireo, but it sounded very warblerish. It wasn't an RC kinglet in terms of coloration, and it was quite a raspy if sweet song. We never got a good view of anything other than its underparts, just sore necks.

The White-eyed Vireo song is quite distinctive even though it has a couple different variations.  It should be a quick yes or no once you hear it.

Any chance it was a immature or female black throated green warbler.
