Hello. This is my first post to tweeters, so I apologize in advance if I'm
doing it wrong.

A few minutes ago, a small bird similar to a Bewick's wren hopped up on the
railing right outside the kitchen door, two feet from my face. He had short
wing bars, eye rings, and a bright, iridesent red stripe on the top of his
head, about 3/16ths of an inch wide and an inch and a half long, running
beak to tail. Who is this? I am a beginning birder, and I couldn't find it
in any of my bird guides.

This bird was spotted near Eagle Landing Park in Burien.

Thanks.
