Oreothlypis peregrina
This bird was very small and fragile and it's colour was gorgeous although it's head was not as green as it appears in the photograph. It weighed next to nothing in my hand and stayed there for about an hour before I put it down under a tree with some brush close to where I found it.
I found it next to a pretty industrial grade theater but it had run into a large window and was just sitting on the ground. It was extremely shocked when I originally picked it up but didn't react to the change of environment because of its recent hiccup. It sat in my hand for about an hour until it started responding to things so I put it on the ground near where it had fallen.
A nashville warbler would have a gray head with yellow body, yours is the exact opposite.
