Ruby-crowned Kinglet? (1 Viewer)

I'd appreciate some advice on an "LGB." I shot this while it was gamboling madly about in the tree tops. My first guess is Ruby-crowed kinglet but it looks and acts a lot like Hutton's Vireo, which is rare here. Several Empidonax flycatchers look good also but none are common. Again this is in southern Nevada and all are real possibilities.

Yup, that's what I meant. :)
Thanks for the ID. I just hated to leave it at the one it's most likely to be. I noticed Sibley has a section just for LGBs.
 
Yup, one of my favorites of the micro birds. Keep an eye out for the golden crowned as well as they usually can be seen with these guys.
