I forgot to say that I agree that the bird is a Northern Waterthrush.

I think the bird in the photo is a Palm Warbler. I could be wrong. Bird on! Chris Barrigar Cole Co.

Plus, my photo software allowed me to zoom in on your photo. No question in my mind: This is NOT a Cape May Warbler which has NO white stripe over its eye. When I zoom in on your photo, I see the slight, pale yellow on the underside, just like your bird. Of course, I see the whitish eye stripe.

Another birder believes it to be a Northern Waterthrush while most believe it to be a Cape May Warbler. What is the consensus? It does look a lot like a thrush in the Crossley ID book.
