I'm probably the last person to ask for an ID, but looks like a classic Dusky Warbler.

There are 2 confusion species (things that look a lot like this), the less common Radde's Warbler and the one or ...
Primaries are generally longer than secondaries, hence the primary-projection visible on a folded wing. This is the case in most warblers, and visible on this photo.

To my knowledge, the length of the primaries or the primary-projection are not useful characters to separate Dusky from Radde's in the field.
