Golden-crowned Kinglet, male

North Georgia, USA

I live in north Georgia, USA, and have noticed this little bird for the first time. It's small, not much larger than a chickadee. I can't find it in my bird book. It has a bit of dull yellow on its wings, and a darker yellow patch on its head. In the middle of the yellow patch on its head, there's a smaller patch of red/orange. Any ideas? See next photo for a head shot.
