Olive Warbler (http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/Infocenter/i6510id.html)

Looks like it meets the description (and picture of the male) of a female Olive Warbler.

That's me holding him. He flew into a window in my mom's garage and was stunned for a few minutes. We snapped some pics and put him out in the yard and he flew away.

Look at the eye, the lack of striping on the wing and the dark cheek patch.
I still think its a femal Olive Warbler.

The description for males says big breast. He was a pretty tiny guy. Sleek.

That's why I was wondering if it's a youngster..not in adult feather.
