Ruby-crowned kinglet

Regulus calendula

Description:

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet is a very small passerine bird found throughout North America. It is a member of the kinglet family. The bird has olive-green plumage with two white wing bars and a white eye-ring. Males have a red crown patch, which is usually concealed.

Habitat:

Their breeding habitat is coniferous forests across Canada, Alaska, northern New England and the western United States.

Notes:

This kinglet flew into my friends apartment while doing his dishes. After subjecting it to a few pictures it was released unharmed and in perfect health.
