Would these pics be of a Yellow-throated Vireo?
Thanks

Thanks. Must be a female then.

The ruby crown is difficult to see in the best of angles, and none of your photos show a good angle.

Notice the white wing bar with bold black below on one of your shots.

And compare with http://www.birdforum.net/opus/Yellow-throated_Vireo

Yes, agree with Niels - although this could be a female, the red crown feathers can be very hard to see, so you can't be sure of the sex without a really good view.

I've had males in the hand that looked completely olive-crowned; but when the feathers were parted, they displayed a complete red crown, like a flame.

Really appreciate the help.
