Broad-tailed Hummingbird

Signal Mntn; Hamilton Co. TN

This image was shot through a window, and unfortunately was the best shot I got of the bird as it made quick visits to the feeder, usually only a few seconds at a time.

It isn't obvious, but you can see a touch of the bright pink gorget feathering on the left side of the birds throat. This bird obviously isn't hurting for any tail either, with the tail not tapering to a point as in Rufous/Allen's.
