This appears to be a younger cedar waxwing (and maybe female) since it has no red waxy secretions at the end of its wings. Whether male or female, one of my favorite birds!
From the Connecticut Audobon Society: The younger females may not have any waxy tipped feathers, have limited black on the chin, and just a thin band of yellow across the tail (0-4.5 mm if you want to be precise). In contrast the older males may have up to nine waxy tips, have a blacker chin, and a yellow band 5-9mm in width. The older females and younger males are between these two extremes and overlap.
