Orange-feathers in the crown indicate that you saw a male
(an agitated male actually). Since most of us only get views
from a distance or when the birds are way up in a tree,
the bright orange crowns are not always noticed.

I've caught quite a few in mist-nets; in-hand, close-up
the male's crown very orange....

Today on San Juan Island, among a mixed flock of
kinglets, chickadees, etc., I saw a Golden-Crowned
Kinglet whose crown was distinctly orange instead of
yellow. It was a very vibrant orange; I had never
seen that before.
