I'd guess that's a female or immature Black-Throated Green Warbler based on its markings(I'd expect more black on the throat for an adult male) but you also shouldn't really have Townsend's Warblers in Florida.

Thanks DR, The yellow on it's chest threw me. We do get vagrants down here in South FloridaI'd guess that's a female or immature Black-Throated Green Warbler based on its markings(I'd expect more black on the throat for an adult male) but you also shouldn't really have Townsend's Warblers in Florida.
Check out the markings and range maps for each on the Cornell site:

The ethereal, buzzy songs of Townsend’s Warblers wafting through old-growth conifer forests provide a dreamlike soundtrack to an enchanting environment. Here, high in the treetops, they seem like tiny colorful ornaments as they forage high in dense foliage, hunting small insects and larvae...
Yeah, the chest is what makes me think immature as it does look like some black feathers are emerging. Fair enough on the vagrants, it does happen.
Thanks Rassie
