It's a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Cute little birds, common here in winter, and not unknown at hummingbird feeders - though not Usual, either, so you do have a "find".
I watched one on Saturday while it was catching flies. If you look it up, look for the "myrtle" variety, rather than "audubons". Myrtles are much more common in the western U.S.
Thanks for the ID. Looking at the Audubon field guide, the closest they come with a photo is the Blackpoll Warbler, which is one of the yellow-rumped variety, and it looks pretty close.
Through the magic of photoshop's dodge tool, here are a couple of shots which show the markings better. Click to enlarge

They're also called butterbutts by many people.
