This bird was hopping around quickly on the ground at Radium Hot Springs in BC, Canada on July 15, 2015. I was thinking kinglet, but definitely not sure. Seemed like it moved too quickly for a sparrow. Thanks for your help.

Thank you Mike and Myer. I saw a few of them working the grounds early in the day. They seemed like they were singles, not in groups as I am accustomed to seeing the sparrows. I should have known.

This would be an Eastern Chipping Sparrow if it were outside my window ?

Yep, chipping sparrow :-) See these in PA as well. A kinglet would be much smaller I believe, if that helps.
