Mourning Dove with red cap

A few days ago, I spotted a new bird at my feeder in Western PA. I get a lot of cardinals, blue jays, sparrows, black-capped chickadees, nuthatches, and the odd tufted titmouse. This was a larger bird -- about the size of a nuthatch or larger, with a dove gray or tan body, a relatively short beak, and a red cap on the back of its head. I'm going crazy trying to identify it. The coloring matches a ruby-crowned kinglet, but the bird seemed larger than that. Ideas?
