Posting for a friend of a friend so I can't give you any more info that the photos and the locale (Lake Livingston, TX) and that she thought it was a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Oh and taken in March. I'm thinking something in the Vermivora genus?

Hi Cillana -
This is, I believe, a rather dull Orange-crowned Warbler, nominate ssp. celeta.

If I am correct, your instincts are good - it does belong to the "genus-formerly-known-as Vermivora," Oreothlypis (as it was re-namedby the Powers that Be).

Another for Orange-crowned. The broken eyering and 'grubby' underparts differentiate it from the similar Nashville.
