Choices should be Orchard, Baltimore, Bullock's...
I didn't see a male either, in fact, I haven't seen a female since last August, but this one joined the Robins, EBBs and Cardinals in the sprinkler today. I'll post a few pics, in case one helps more than the other.

Not confident in the Id but possibly a Nashville Warbler.
Burd, my first instinct was warbler, but the beak is throwing me, and it was small compared to the Robins that were close by, but it seems like it was close to the size of a Cardinal. Nashvilles could be passing thru here now.

I'm thinking probably juvenile Mourning Warbler. Ground-feeding is typical for this, much less so for Nashville.
Resin
Here's a shot with a Robin for size comparison. The Robin is about 5 ft closer to the camera. A local birder is also throwing Yellow Warbler into the mix.
I still have to lean towards Resin's Id, most likely a juvenile Mourning Warbler as they hang near and on the ground.
