No worries :) Hummers are tough, especially in Arizona where there are so many to choose from!

Thanks, Ashley. I downloaded the image and brightened and cropped it but didn't look long enough at Anna's. The posture is different as well.

This bird has iridescent feathers on the forehead and behind the eye as well as the throat, which black-chinned does not have. Also, black-chinned has a purple iridescence in the light, whereas this bird has pink iridescence.
