I did a little more searching at allaboutbirds.org and a newly  acquired 
Sibley Guide and determined my unknown bird described below  is a 
Chestnut-sided Warbler.  I didn't get a clear look at the back of  the bird, 
and my 
description of the coloration was affected by my red/green  colorblindness : )

Hidden  Lake State Park

I had a nice early morning outing at Hidden Lake State Park before  the 
heat 
kicked in.  On the trail along the edge of the large field  by the parking  
area, I saw two Common Yellowthroat, a couple of  Eastern  Wood-Pewee, and 
several American Goldfinch in the trees and  shrubs.  

As the trail entered the woods to go to the lake, I got  a great look at a  
Black and White Warbler and a few Magnolia  Warbler.

Along the ridge trail, I saw several more Magnolia Warbler,  another Black  
and White Warbler, a Nashville Warbler, a Tennessee  Warbler, and a  
Yellow-throated Vireo.  I also heard several  White-eyed Vireo and Eastern  
Towhee.

At the crossing over the  small streambed, I saw a bird I haven't been able 
 
to identify.   It was in the tree canopy and acted very warbler-like.   The 
 
breast and belly were pale and whitish with some darker brown or  olive  
streaks.  The wings were also pale and had these  brownish  streaks.  The 
top of 
the head and back were solid with  a reddish/ruddy  brown coloration.  The 
rest of the head and  checks were pale in color,  but I couldn't get a 
clear 
view to  determine if it had any eye rings or  not.  I know this isn't the  
best 
description, but any thoughts on what it  might have  been?
