Shot on the SE edge of the Texas Hill Country. I've not seen one of these before and don't see anything in my spotting guide that looks like this guy. Any ideas on what it may be?

Good shot. I'm not that sure of myself but it resembles a female Pine Warbler.
I see them a lot here in Ga as well and if I am wrong it would be good to know what they are.

I don't think so. I know what they look like, and see them around. This bird is different.

Here is a shot of the ruby crowned kinglet. See the brownish color of the feet. the white in the eye corners.

I was thinking Orange Crowned Warbler after looking in the book again. But now when I look at the brown feet, I'm thinking Ruby Crowned Kinglet too. I've never noticed a female before without the red on top the head.

It's a female Ruby Crowned Kinglet, Bill. The ID is correct.
