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

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.

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?
