I like it for Hutton's due to the breadth of the eye ring, overall dark
olive coloring, greenish tinge on the secondaries, and while the angle of
the image makes it difficult to tell for sure - it looks to me like the
telltale black bar across the base of the secondaries (that is indicative
of Ruby-crowned Kinglet) is missing.
