Yes Larry, the wingbars match perfectly for Ruby-crowned Kinglet. The picture in my guidebook shows it being more yellow than grey which is why I didn't pay much attention to it. Thank you very much.
 
Shiny Cowbird is not found near Mexico City according to eBird records, so your bird is a Brown-headed or a Bronzed. I agree with Ruby-crowned Kinglet and have no opinion on the hummingbird.
