Great pic! I don't know birding but I really like this community and all the birds :). This bird also looks a lot like this one: Ruby-crowned Kinglet

Thanks. The Vireo landed very close to me and I thought it was a Kinglet when I quickly took the pic. It was only after when I downloaded it that I realized it was a Vireo. Easy to mix up!!!

@streetfestival @imcan8dn

they do look a lot alike but the lack of the black bar beneath the white wingbar makes this bird a Hutton's Vireo

there's a good comparison pair of photos at this link
