Hutton’s Vireo — Images by kenne
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.

Ruby-crowned Kinglet — Image by kenne
The trail was quiet
The breeze was calm.
What is that little bird
With all that energy?
Wings constantly flicking
Chattering out his songs
The hiker pulls out
His nature guide.
Was this nervous fliting
Bird just passing through?
Looks like a kinglet,
Possible a ruby-crowned
Spending the winter
In Sabino Canyon.
