I'm guessing this is an Allen's hummingbird.

Rufous Hummingbird is identical (except in tail feather measurements). So, depending on the location and time of year, Rufous is a strong possibility.

You captured the light on his throat perfectly. Beautiful shot.

I'm very bad at bird id, especially, hummingbirds. So it could be a Rofous? I'll do more research, thanks!

Beautiful! I love the colors. We only get the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird here. I'm not complaining though, I'm happy to have them! But wow! Beautiful capture.

Absolutely beautiful photography. You cannot believe how often my wife has to refill the feeder for them. There is one chubby character that guards the feeder for himself. Chases the others away. It is so entertaining to watch them.

Thanks,

Tony
