I have, in the past misidentified the Hutton’s Vireo with the Ruby-crowned Kinglet, which is easy to do.
Both are common to southeast Arizona, and both are small birds with very similar markings and coloring.

Hutton’s Vireo — Image by kenne
Hutton’s Vireo is a small songbird that bears an uncanny resemblance to a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. They can be
found in the Pacific coastal regions, where they tend to be richer green and yellow. However, in southeastern
Arizona, they are grayer like this one I photographed recently in the Cienega Creek Preserve.
