With respects to those who chose Prairie Warbler, I don't see that species at all in Justin's very blurry photo. I see a gray-headed and olive-backed and -winged warbler with yellow chin, throat, and breast, and paler belly and undertail coverts. There may be a hint of a pale eyering, the wings are completely plain, and the tail appears quite long.

The best resemblance is Nashville Warbler, but it's too early in the season for that species. Based on the plain wings, I'd go with Common Yellowthroat even thought the tail looks bit long.
