Tiny Everything

I've been trying off and on for the past few months to get a shot of the Ruby-crowned Kinglet but it has proved to be a most difficult thing to accomplish!

 

I've come to the conclusion that the smaller the bird the faster it is! The Kinglets seem to take off the instant they land on something, making the majority of shots I've gotten rather blurry.

 

And while this isn't the best shot - it IS a shot. More or less to prove they are still here. And while I desperately want a shot of one showing off that ruby crown, I've learned only the males have that ruby crown, and it isn't always visible. So now I'm wondering is this tiny cutie, who paused for a mere nanosecond, is a female?
