Warbler Hybrid ID

Hi all!!!
Recently I was birding on my patch in Buckeye (West Phoenix), AZ and I noticed a very strange warbler, I am pretty sure that it is a hybrid of some sort and it looked like it has a lot of American Redstart in it but there were a few fields marks that didn't make sense. Any help with the ID of this bird will be deeply appreciated!
Bird Hard!!!

  1. Looks like it has Yellow-rumped in it.

  2. I wonder if it's not last year's male American Redstart molting into adult plumage.

  3. Almost looks like Redstart , MacGillivray's

  4. I agree that it's probably a young male American Redstart; they can look funky when molting!
