a mystery warbler

Lakeside was full of Yellow Warblers but this doesn't look like the rest of them. Any suggestions?

It could be a subspecies of yellow warbler.  I found this information at All About Birds.

"Various subspecies that live year-round in the Caribbean and in mangrove forests of Central and South America have bright chestnut on the crown or over the entire head; these subspecies are often referred to as “Golden” or “Mangrove” Yellow Warblers."

It is a Cape May warbler.

Thank you to you both! The yellow warbler info was interesting reading for future trips too!
