Its probably a very young Common Yelowthroat. The corners of its mouth look like they haven’t shruck in and hardened up yet. It has too much of an eye-ring and not enough (or any) of an eye-line for Tennessee, also the bill is not sharply pointed enough and the wing feathers are too yellow-olive for Tennessee.
Where and when did you take the photo?

It was taken on 7-26-08 at Deer Run Forest Preserve.
Thanks for the input.

I agree, this is a young Common Yellowthroat. They are still around (August 20th), and fairly pishable so you can usually get a pretty good look at one. Tennessees will be here soon for comparison.
