I'm not very confident about most of the LBBs. I can tell that some of
them differ from others, and even in what ways, but in groups.
There is a group that seems to match that description, and I'm pretty
sure the group contains (at different times of the year) Pine Siskins.
Chipping Sparrows (I've actually gotten a little more confident about
them), out-of-uniform and female Gold Finches, and maybe something else.
Chickadees also match the behavior, but not the uniform. Fun watching
them deal with Blue Jays, Turkeys, and Grackles that try to intimidate
them.
Thanks for the comments, I'm still trying to work it all out.
