Broad-tailed Hummingbird

Signal Mntn; Hamilton Co. TN

The gorget feathers are visible here, but unfortunately not the wonderful pinkish-rose color that we saw when the bird flashed us at the right angle.

The pattern to the underparts blended nicely, lacking the distinct white forecollar typically shown by Rufous/Allen's. The lack of any 'color' to the face is also a mark against Rufous/Allen's.

Nikon Coolpix 4500 ,Pentax PF-80ED
