My guess is ruby-crowned kinglet, haven't the flycatchers left already?

Yes, RC Kinglet.

I always find the fore-and-aft half eye-rings on a Kinglet very useful visual prompts - clearly seen here, even in the thumbnail of the second photo, where nothing much else is visible.

In the field, they usually jump out (not literally, that would be alarming).

Actually I still had an empid this past Sunday. But I also had my first RC kinglet of the season (which the posted bird is).
