Palm Warbler - note the thin bill (not too easy to see on this pic!), the rufous crown, buffy eyebrow, dark line through the eye, weakly streaked breast, and yellowish base to the tail

Northern Waterthrush is much more boldly streaked below and doesn't have the rufous or yellowish; Rose-breasted Grosbeak has a huge pink bill, Song Sparrow also has a thick bill.
