[mou] Need help identifying bird

[Meta Gaertnier]

Hi!  My husband and I were up on our land on the Snake River near Pine City
this weekend, and saw a bird, possibly a warbler, that I'm hoping you can
help us identify. 

In addition to yellow-rumped warblers, American redstarts, tree swallows, an
indigo bunting, rose-breasted grosbeak (both sexes) and a scarlet tanager,
we saw a small, warbler sized bird that was brilliant yellow-orange in color
-- between the color of a goldfinch and the orange on a Baltimore oriole.
We couldn't get binoculars on it to get a close look, but it didn't seem to
have black or gray wings -- pretty much an all-over color.  It was hanging
out with warblers, was roughly the same size (could have been a bit larger)
and had the same flight patterns. It was mostly around the edge of the water
in the trees or in the grasses.  Any ideas?

Thanks!
