Thank you staccyh! I'm going with Ruby crowned Kinglet. Unless told different. I think White-eyes have more yellowish color to them.

Beautiful little bird. It does look like a female ruby-crowned kinglet, but I'm not an expert! At first I thought it might be some sort of white-eye, but the white isn't as well defined in this bird. Nice photos!
