Lovely shots!
Beautiful!
you can see the pollen on the forhead.
It does look like a Costa's
Anna's would be faint even streaks on the throat and besides it's a resident bird to the Ranger Station. Took the pictures in the exact spot last year. Pretty sure it's the same.
Tricky to ID!

I ID'd this one as a male costa's
