Ahh okay, thanks for clarifying! There are few hummingbirds (in the US at least) that have the gorget on top of the head in addition to the chin area. This one and Costa's are the two main ones, and Costa's have a different shaped gorget and it's dark purple. Though the light can definitely make gorget's turn different colors!

Just curious as to why you listed this as an unknown spotting when you have your photos on this site and already have the ID listed? http://www.birdnet.co.uk/len_w_arizona_0...
