Not sure what this is. I was thinking Ruby-crowned Kinglet, but doesn't seem quite right. Maybe a Flycatcher or a Warbler. Pretty small bird. Saw three together and have more pictures if needed. Taken today near Fremont, CA at Coyote Hills Regional Park. Thanks.

I should mention that generally the head was smooth not tufted.

That eye ring (heavy on the front and back) pretty much narrows it down to Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Hutton's Vireo. This looks like the kinglet because of the black bar under the wingbar.

Agreed -- Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

Great. Thanks for the help. The white edging on the tail was throwing me off. Is that typical?
