Archilochus alexandri
Slightly larger than a Ruby Throat. Dull metallic green back with a greyish breast. Wing tips rounded and bill slightly curved. Tends to pump its tail as it hovers.
This one has just won the feeding right to the porch feeder and is bragging loudly.
There are now 4 distinct birds (male, female and 2 immatures) coming to the feeder daily. Because of territorial issues, I have put out a second feeder in the back yard.
