Bird Nest Identification

Yesterday I saw a bird nest lying on the ground. I have no idea what species of bird built it.

This picture shows how small it was.

I'm voting for hummingbird. They are tiny and deep nests. I can't tell how deep this one is, though.

Looks like a scarlet tanager or indigo bunting nest.

I found one similar in a small bush near my door...hummingbirds don't nest here and their nests are supposed to be the size of a quarter. Today a dove flew out of the same bush...??

It is NOT a hummingbird nest. It is a sparrow nest.

Sparrows nests are much bigger and with much more debris and substance.
