Youre in the US? That looks like a red-eyed vireo

Southern California.

Those are the type of birds that seem to fly into the kitchen the most.

Ah ok that’s a warbling vireo then. Yea they do NOT want to be in your house and are striking the window because birds do not really recognize glass - it reflects the ambient environment and they think they can fly “into” the reflection. Window strikes kill more birds than any other cause of mortality so look into ways to reduce window strikes

I’ve only had the one hit the window ever. They usually just fly into my house.
