Hi all
Here is a more definitive explanation for Black-chinned Hummingbird:
"Here in Phoenix, we get Anna's, Costa's, and Black-chinned as our expected
and common hummingbirds, so separation of the three is something we deal
with every day. I can tell you with certainty it's not the two former
Hi all
Just received comment to add to discussion:
- "Actually, Costa’s might be the best fit shape-wise and tail/wing
length fits too. I’m unable to see 'strongly-curved wingtips.'"
Thanks, Gary Lefko, Nunn

Hi all
Other responses so far most leaning toward Black-chinned:
- "Not the greatest photo, but messing with filters and light
adjustments, I think it’s an Archilochus type, and given the apparently
pointy rater than clubby shape of the primaries, I’d call it a
Ruby-throated rather
Wings about as long as the tail, bill very straight, short stubby bird,
getting no help from the gorget due to the lighting angle, though it lacks
any frills or extensions
Makes me want to guess Anna's, though that would be highly unexpected.
Looks a little chunky for Black-chinned, though
