A hybrid maybe?
Interesting discussions!

I considered Chat too. And yes, the pretty distinct whitish eye-ring had me
confused as well, as did the very bright yellow. But the camera + sunlight
can distort colors and brightness I've found.

Good point. That rules out a Chat.I've looked at lots of photos and
illustrations of Common Yellowthroats, and this bird has more white around
the eye that any of those, but everything else suggests Common
Yellowthroat. Interesting bird.

Chats have dark legs and feet and a much heavier bill. This bird has
pinkish legs and feet.

A very interesting video. The front is very bright yellow and there is a
lot of white going on around the eye extending to the bill. It also
appears to be a fairly robust bird with a long tail. Hard to judge
relative size. I think it is a Yellow-breasted Chat. Jim NelsonBethesda,

While I agree that this is a Common Yellowthroat, it is actually an immature
male rather than a female based on the black mask that is beginning to come
in on the face.

Carol,
I 2nd Tom's opinion of a female Common Yellow-throat. Regardless, cool
set
up! I'd definitely keep an eye on those cameras.
