Shoaib:
As Lars surmised your warbler is indeed a Orange-crowned Warbler.
Note that this bird has a yellowish supercilium versus a thin pale eye
ring. It is drabber than a Mourning Warbler, its bill is very finely
pointed, and has shorter, thinner, blackish legs. Mournings have stocky
pinkish legs. Mournings are a different genus--*Geothlypis*--same as Common
Yellowthroat and MacGillvray's, which are a plumper genus. Orange-crowneds
are of the genus *Oreothlypis, *which also includes Nashville Warbler.
Mournings, even dull females, have a hooded look with a paler yellowish to
whitish throat and they are brighter yellow below. Mournings are often
found very low down, or even on the ground.
I hope that helps.
