Thank you José! It is indeed similar, I´m glad in the end you could find an ID via this way :)
Thank you SarotaBoy for the ID
Love the second shot! It's similar to this one: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/994...
I often see them and wonder if they somehow mimic a small humming bird when they fly.
