Female Common Yellowthroat?

Maybe a yellow rumped warbler

Odd-looking bird. Nearest I can find is female American Redstart, but I'm not too convinced on that. I'm wondering if it might be an escaped cagebird.

Any more pics of it?

All pics about the same.

Last pic. I think I saw this bird in a better position early in the morning, but did not have my camera.

Thanks! That 2nd pic does help a lot - you can see the tail fanned between the leaves, and it shows female American Redstart pattern with yellow base/sides, so that confirms American Redstart (the tail is actually visible on the 1st pic too on re-inspection, but closed and the pattern not obvious).

Thanks, Resin...my book does not even show the Redstart here, so I would never have gotten that one.

According to Sibley's map, they pass through the whole of Florida on migration. Surprisingly late for so far south, though!
