Setophaga ruticilla
Female American Redstart in the yard. Rather than flying, she hopped a lot through the bushes, from twig to twig, occasionally flashing her yellow tail.
The male of this species is predominantly black with orange markings, and looks completely different from the female. Since I only saw the female, and since a lot of places online showed the male, it took a while to figure out.
