Got an interesting question, thought I would share with all.
We have banded 18 Ruby-crowned Kinglets in the past year; 9 Golden-crowned 
Kinglets; and 3 Winter Wrens.
RCKI (n=18)   ave wt-  6.31 g  [range 5.7-7.6 g]
GCKI (n=9)    ave wt-  5.77 g [range 5.5-6.4 g]
WIWR (n=3)  ave wt-   8.8 g  [range 7.6-9.7 g]

Another interesting fact-- both kinglet species tail lengths averaged 42 
mm; the WIWRs averaged 26.7mm--hows that for a stumpy tail!!
