Mystery Bird.

So... yesterday, I was looking out the window and saw a tiny bird bouncing around in the lower branches of the pine tree. I had no idea what it was, but I was able to take a couple of OK photos.

Could it be a female Ruby-crowned Kinglet?

They claim it likes to flick its tail around. I've had luck in the past recording songs heard for ID help too🤞

That's what I thought, that a kinglet should have passed through weeks ago.

The vireo looks about right, but seems a little large. If it is a vireo, it might be nesting around here, and I'll get another look. Hopefully.

The wing bars don't seem right for it either. Black and White looks swapped in position🤷‍♂️

Guessing... maybe a Bell's Vireo?

Just a moment...
