I think this is a female ruby-crowned kinglet.  There was a pair of these moving around in a fairly thick stand of trees near a small lake.  One had a red streak on it's head, but I was never able to get a photo of it, it was just too fast.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  If it is it will be another first for me.  Not the sharpest photo, but the best I was able to get. Thanks for your time.

It's a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. The red crown isn't often visible, so I'm not going to take a guess at gender. They are a real challenge to photograph.
